Rajasthan Royals vs Sunrisers Hyderabad Betting Tips
It will be the game in which Jos Buttler would finally break his run-scoring draught because, well, why not? You can’t contain Jos the Boss for long. Can you? Then there is always a big knock expected in the kind of form that Yashasvi Jaiswal is having. The hope of Aiden Markram and Harry Brook being amongst the runs from the Hyderabad camp can’t be discounted, for the 2016 champions need their two important overseas members to do well.

Rajasthan Royals Team Form
After winning four of their first five matches, Rajasthan Royals were at the top of the table. In their sixth game of the season, their first in Jaipur, they looked well on their way to becoming the first side to hit 10 points. But things have gone downhill for them since then as the Sanju Samson-led side have lost four of their next five encounters. A win here is important for them to restore belief in their plans.

Sunrisers Hyderabad Team Form
Sunrisers Hyderabad have just three wins from nine games, and if you take a look at the last five encounters, they have registered four losses. That has put them in a position of complete fear, and if anything goes against them in the Royals encounter, they pack their bags well and head home.
Rajasthan Royals vs Sunrisers Hyderabad Head-To-Head

Rajasthan Royals vs Sunrisers Hyderabad Betting Odds
Royals to score over 54.5 runs in the powerplay @ 1.91 (Melbet)
Even though there is a paucity of runs from Sanju Samson, Rajasthan Royals have ensured that their batting is going strong as ever. They have scored runs at a 9.45 run rate in the powerplay, and only in the last game did it drop below 8 runs per over. Isn’t it enough to convince you to go for the Royals to score over 54.5 runs in the powerplay of this encounter at home?
Rajasthan Royals vs Sunrisers Hyderabad Best Batters
Jaiswal to be RR’s best batter (Melbet)
Yashasvi Jaiswal has been Rajasthan’s best batter in this season and has scored 442 runs which is the second most for a batter in this season. His balls-per-boundary frequency is amongst the best for a batter in this season and no batter has hit more boundaries than him in IPL 2023. He has scored most of his runs while batting 1st. All his three fifties and the century came while batting first. That makes sure he is one of our best bets for this match.
Klassen to be SRH’s best batter (Melbet)
Heinrich Klaasen has been the most consistent and fiery batter for SRH in IPL 2023 till now. In only 104 balls played this season, Klaasen has already smacked 189 runs which is the second-most runs scored by an SRH batter this season. Amongst all batters who have scored at least 150 runs in the season so far, Klaasen has one of the highest SRs. Then why are you being tentative?
Rajasthan Royals vs Sunrisers Hyderabad Best Bowlers
Ashwin to be RR’s best bowler (Melbet)
Ashwin has bowled well against right-handed batters this season and is the joint-fifth leading wicket-taker against RHB in IPL 2023. With SRH having many RHB in their lineup, it will be an interesting battle to watch. His bowling performance at Sawai Mansingh Stadium is terrific, and he has the best bowling strike rate at this venue among the venues he has played in the IPL.
Markande to be SRH’s best bowler (Melbet)
Mayank Markande has been a great addition to SRH as he despite bowling in just seven innings, he is their highest wicket-taker with 11 wickets to his name, and he has also been very economical, having conceded runs at just 6.5 an over which is very impressive. His economy of 6.5 is the best for a bowler this season. He has outperformed the other SRH spinners put together this season, as he has taken 11 of SRH’s 19 spin wickets in this season.
Our Prediction
Favorites to win: Rajasthan Royals
Rajasthan Royals’ top order, barring Sanju Samson, hasn’t clicked in the last four games, but the class they possess there is envious. They would need just one game to collectively fire, and that would determine the course of the action. For Sunrisers Hyderabad, batters are shambolic that having any hope of performance from them would be a moon shot. Be firmly behind Sanju Samson’s men because that would yield dividends.
RR to win @ 1.67 (Melbet)
SRH to win @ 2.2 (Melbet)
