IPL 2024: Eliminator, RR vs SRH Today Match Prediction - Who will win today's IPL match?

Rajasthan Royals fell short by one run last time these two sides faced off in what was a really thrilling game. They went through a slump after and are now back after a win in the eliminator. Rajasthan however showed signs of struggle as they kept looking for ways to lose against Bengaluru despite having the game in their hand for a good part. The Sunrisers have struggled in the qualifier 1 themselves but they will be pretty happy to know that they can fight despite getting off to tough starts as they did when they managed 160 after being 4 down for not many.

Chennai tends to take turn in when the ball is dry. If dew stays away batting first and getting 170 could be a winning score. If dew is a visitor though chasing remains the better choice.

RR vs SRH Key Players

Travis Head

Travis Head has two ducks and looks a little concerned about the ball swinging into him. His furniture was disturbed twice. Trent Boult though may not be as much of a threat despite being a left-arm seamer. The Aussie-Kiwi rivalry often slides the Aussie way and Travis Head will be looking to keep it that way.

Ravichandran Ashwin

If there is a name close to the volume of MS Dhoni at the Chepauk it is Ravichandran Ashwin. He is back at his home ground and Ashwin will know better than anyone how to tackle the dew at Chennai. He loves playing at home and he will relish the challenge of having two left-hand batters take on his off-spin at his home ground.

RR vs SRH, Battles to Watch

Travis Head vs Ravichandran Ashwin: Travis Head against Ashwin could be a battle that could come in very early. He is likely to come in to bowl in the second over. Travis Head too after two ducks will be eager to take the bowlers on which could lead to an interesting encounter with Head trying to take down Ashwin at Ashwin’s home ground.

RR vs SRH Match Tips

The Rajasthan Royals may back themselves here with a win to take them back into winning ways. Their line-up is pretty well suited to the ground as well with some good spinners and batters against spin.
