This Rajasthan Royals vs Sunrisers Hyderabad prediction preview looks ahead to the IPL group match played in India. The Royals have bounced back from consecutive defeats by beating the Super Giants by 40 runs to stay 2nd on the IPL table. The Sunrisers have shrugged off three losses in their first four matches by winning their last three on the bounce to rise up to 4th spot.
The pitch at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur should be a belter and these two strong top-orders are worth backing to score over 200. Pacemen will enjoy some assistance while the shine is on the ball, but the fast outfield and the likelihood of plenty of dew in the hot conditions should favour the side chasing.
