Preview

Rajasthan are taking on Hyderabad in the next fixture of the Indian T20 League. Both the teams are in the lower half of the points table and are very close to each other to make it to the playoffs. Rajasthan are coming off a convincing win against Chennai at Abu Dhabi and are sitting at the sixth spot in the points table with eight points in ten games.

Their move to open with Uthappa and pushing Jos Buttler down the order had worked well so far. We expect the same combination from Rajasthan to step on the field with Jofra Archer leading the bowling attack. It is a do or die situation for them and a win will keep them on track of contention for the playoffs spot.

On the other side, Hyderabad ended up losing to Kolkata in a Super over contest and desperately needs to win to keep themselves up in the ladder. There is an injury concern over Kane Williamson which might lead to the selection of Nabi in the XI. Manish Pandey needs to get back on track to lead the middle order in the right way. Their problem with inexperienced middle-order clearly reflects in the points table. However, their bowling attack is still good for these conditions and can be the strongest part to get them two points from Dubai.
