SRH vs RR Match Preview

This is the second game of the Indian Premier League. The Sunrisers Hyderabad will kick off their campaign against the Rajasthan Royals. Last year, the Sunrisers had a good season but lost in the final to KKR. They play at home and will look to capitalize on this advantage. The Rajasthan Royals lost in the second qualifier to the Sunrisers and will look to avenge their loss in this game. The Sunrisers Hyderabad have a great track record at this venue. Last season, they failed once at this venue and hope to improve on that record. They have beaten the Rajasthan Royals in the previous three games and will draw inspiration from those victories. The Rajasthan Royals' bowling attack lacks teeth, so it will be exciting to see if the batting lineup can compensate.
