Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) would be utterly disappointed after they let Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) off the hook after getting them on the mat at the Eden Gardens. David Warner and Jonny Bairstow’s partnership kept KKR at bay, but the latter came back brilliantly. The Sunrisers are now scheduled to lock horns with Rajasthan Royals (RR) at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad.

SRH will enter the game as favourites as the Royals lost their two games at the particular venue. Their confidence won’t be great either as the team, captained by Ajinkya Rahane, slumped to a defeat against Kings XI Punjab (KXIP) at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur. Like the Sunrisers even they lost from a position of strength after Jos Buttler was ‘mankaded’ by KXIP captain Ravichandran Ashwin.

Match Details:

The eighth game of the IPL between SRH and RR will be hosted by the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, Hyderabad.

The match starts at 08:00 PM local time (02:30 PM GMT).

The game will be live on Star Sports in India. (Live streaming on Hotstar).


Weather Conditions:

The temperature isn’t something to be scared of with it hovering around 28 and 30 degrees. The humidity levels won’t be high at 27 to 30 percent. Most importantly, there are no chances of rain throughout the entire day.
