Two struggling sides will clash against each other in the Indian Premier League (IPL) on Sunday in the first match of the doubleheader.
Rajasthan Royals are at the seventh spot in the points table with just two victories so far from six matches. Their opponents Sunrisers Hyderabad are at the bottom of the table, having won just one game out of six.
RR's only win of the season came against laggards Kolkata Knight Riders and with SRH also struggling for form, the Sunday match provides a golden opportunity to the Sanju Samson-led side to secure two valuable points.
However, to achieve that, RR will need to lift their standards immediately after succumbing to a heavy defeat against Mumbai Indians in their previous match.
Batting first against MI, RR made a strong start with openers including Jos Buttler looking in good touch. Samson and Shivam Dube added valuable runs during the middle-overs but MI's exceptional death-overs bowling restricted them to a below-par score which Mumbai chased down easily.
Against SRH, RR will hope they are able to correct the mistakes from their previous match with the focus being on their death overs batting. Hyderabad also lost their previous match which was against Chennai Super Kings.
Similar to RR, SRH were guilty of not having enough runs on the board as CSK won by seven wickets. For David Warner and Co, it's important they complement their bowlers.
