RR vs SRH Dream11 Prediction: Two teams, who are not out of the contention for the play-offs by any means but are almost in do-or-die territory, will have everything to play for today. Rajasthan Royals and Sunrisers Hyderabad will lock horns at Dubai with an aim to keep their campaigns alive. RR would be more confident team with a convincing win behind their back while SRH would have been disappointed after their super over loss against KKR in the last match. We will preview RR vs SRH Dream11 contest.
Rajasthan Royals had a good outing against Chennai Super Kings in their last match. Bowling first, new ball bowlers dismissed Shane Watson and Faf du Plessis in the powerplay. Almost all the bowlers bowled well but spinners set up the game for RR in the middle overs. Shreyas Gopal and Rahul Tewatia gave away only 32 runs from their 8 overs and also picked up two wickets. One of the major reasons why CSK could only post 125 runs on the board. RR top order still brought some life in the match with their collapse. They lost 3 wickets for 28 runs but Steve Smith and Jos Buttler were the saviors for RR with an unbeaten partnership of 98 runs. Jos Buttler did bulk of the scoring with a squash-buckling innings of 70.

Sunrisers Hyderabad played a competitive match against Kolkata Knight Riders over the weekend but still couldn’t register two points on the board. Bowling first, T Natarajan picked up a couple while Rashid Khan, Sandeep Sharma and Vijay Shankar bowled economically to limit KKR to a total of 163. In reply, Kane Williamson’s injury forced them to change their batting order. Jonny Bairstow opened with Kane Williamson and both gave them more than just a decent start with 58 runs stand in powerplay overs. But then they lost wickets in cluster against a rampaging Lockie Ferguson. David Warner guided their chase with an unbeaten knock of 47 but it was still not the usual David Warner as he was struggling with his timing. In the end, match ended in a tie but SRH lost both their wickets for just 2 runs in the super over. That was enough to hand the match to Kolkata Knight Riders.
In head-to-head comparisons, both the teams are neck and neck in terms of historical results. SRH & RR both have won 6 matches each from 12 games played between them. In last 5 matches, SRH are leading by 3-2 against the Royals. Riyan Parag and Rahul Tewatia took RR to a win from nowhere when both the teams met for the first time this year at the same venue.
Pitch and Conditions
Dubai is still looking a better batting surface than Abu Dhabi if we consider scores from the last week. Trend has changed a little as last 3 matches have won by the chasing side here and it won’t be a bad idea to bowl first here as dew has started playing its part in late October. Scores around 160-170 are still believed to be par here in batting-friendly conditions.
