Qualifier 2 Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Rajasthan Royals

As the first team of IPL 2024, Kolkata Knight Riders have booked their ticket to the finals. Which team will face KKR in the mega final on Sunday, May 26? His fate will be decided on Friday at Chip. Sunrisers Hyderabad and Rajasthan Royals are going to meet in a do or die match in the second qualifier of IPL. The team of Pat Cummins and Sanj Samson are desperate to punch their ticket to the finals.

Sunrisers Hyderabad faced a humiliating loss against KKR in the first qualifier of IPL. Mitchell Stars, Varun Chakraborty, Sunil Narine have proved that the devastating batting line-up consisting of Travis Head, Abhishek Sharma, Henrik Klaassen can also be thrashed. Apart from batting, KKR played with Hyderabad's bowling. As a result, the Orange Army has the challenge of returning to form in both the batting-bowling sections of the second qualifier.

On the other hand, the pace that Rajasthan Royals started the IPL with came in the last lap and Sanju Samson's team fell flat. After four consecutive losses, Rajasthan Royals were in discomfort as the last match of the league was washed away by rain. However, Rajasthan returned to victory in a life-or-death match against RCB.

Ravichandran Ashwin's return to form against RCB is a plus for Royals. Rajasthan's aim is to trap the opposition in the Ashwin-Chahal spin net on the spin-assisted wicket of Chipak. However, in the last few matches, Sanjud has suffered from the lack of consistency in the batting line.

If Qualifier 2 is Cancel for Rain or any other reason:

This time in IPL three matches have already been lost due to rain. Among them are two from KKR. KKR's opponent in one match was Rajasthan Royals. In addition, several matches were interrupted by rain. For this, Sunrisers Hyderabad and Rajasthan Royals match will be played at Chipok Stadium in Chennai. If the second qualifier of the IPL is washed away due to rain, then there is curiosity among cricket lovers as to which team will make it to the final.

There is no reserve day in IPL playoffs anyway. Only the final has a reserve day. On top of that, the weather update in Chipak says light rain is forecast for the next three days. Maximum temperature will be 36 degrees and minimum temperature will be 30 degrees. However, there is no danger of losing the match.

But as per IPL rules, if the playoff match is abandoned due to rain then the team which was in better position in the points table will go to the final. Sunrisers and Rajasthan had 17 points in the group stage. But Hyderabad was ahead in terms of run rate. Sunrisers Hyderabad finished the points table with Sunrisers Hyderabad. Rajasthan Royals finished third. As a result, the match was lost and Hyderabad will play against KKR in the final.
