IPL 2024: SRH vs RR Head-to-Head Records- Match 50
The 2016 Champions Sunrisers Hyderabad’s two consecutive defeats hurt them in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024. If they lose the SRH vs RR clash at their home, Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, they would be out of the top five, and their net run rate would become negative.
Their main struggle is their run-chases. When it comes to batting in the middle overs (7-15), the Sunrisers Hyderabad have a strike rate of 171.85 in that nine-over period. That’s’ the best among all the ten franchises in the IPL 2024.
The same side loses the plot in the same duration when it comes to their second-inning batting. The strike rate drops down to 109.72, the worst among all the sides. Before the SRH vs RR encounter, they have cracked just five sixes in this period in six innings, and carry the second-lowest average of 23.70.
Rajasthan Royals have too looked a bit weak in this period. Their strike rate of 137.35 in the middle overs is seventh in the ranking. However, they have scored the third-most runs of 445 runs in this IPL in a span of six innings.
When it comes to the first innings, the Royals have the second-best middle-overs strike rate with 153.09, for the best average of 82.67. They have batted only thrice in the first innings of the IPL 2024 before the SRH vs RR clash, but have lost just three wickets in the period of seventh to the 15th over.
