IPL 2022: SRH vs RR Preview, Playing XI, Live Streaming Details & Updates
Both the teams have won the title once in IPL history.
The fifth match of the Indian Premier League 2022 is all set to take place between Sunrisers Hyderabad and Rajasthan Royals at MCA, Pune. Both the teams have had success once under their belts and would be keen on grabbing the silverware yet again. Kane Williamson, who was retained ahead of the mega auction, has the charge of the Orange Army as the franchise could be seen trusting him since last year’s edition only.
However, things wouldn’t be easy for them as they let go of their most successful campaigner David Warner, as things between him and the franchise were not seen on smooth lines for a long time. SRH wouldn’t even have the services of star spinner Rashid Khan and this is again one department that would raise concerns for them. Talking in terms of Rajasthan, they will be led by flamboyant batter Sanju Samson whose only concern hovers around his consistency.
However, having acquired star pacer Trent Boult, spinners in the form of Yuzvendra Chahal and Ravi Ashwin, RR’s bowling attack looks all set to demolish teams on the day. If their top and middle-orders, including the likes of Yashasvi Jaiswal and Devdutt Padikkal fire a bit, things would be very easy for Sanju Samson and his men on March 29.
Pitch and Conditions
The conditions at MCA stadium, Pune have been known for supporting batters and spinners as the game progresses. Chasing teams have had an advantage here and hence, the captain winning the toss might want his men to bowl first. No precipitation is expected at the venue on match day and the temperature would hover around 33 Degrees C.
Playing combinations for SRH vs RR
SRH
Rahul Tripathi would be expected to fire at the very start and take the team’s score to respectable figures if they bat first. With Bhuvneshwar Kumar retained in the squad, he is expected to give his team crucial breakthroughs in the game, which he is capable of for a long time now.
Playing XI: Rahul Tripathi, Abhishek Sharma, Kane Williamson (C), Nicholas Pooran (WK), Aiden Markram, Abdul Samad, Washington Sundar, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Marco Jansen, Umran Malik, T Natarajan
RR
Rajasthan look quite competitive on paper and they would be expected to bring the same on to the field as well. The addition of Devdutt Padikkal at the top would surely be fetching great results for him with the bowling department already sorted for them now.
