SRH vs RR Fantasy Cricket Tips

Sunrisers Hyderabad Heavy Fantasy XI

  • SRH openers Travis Head (338 runs) and Abhishek Sharma (303 runs) have emerged as two of their most prolific run-scorers of the season. Moreover, the two attacking batters have also maintained strike-rates of over 210. Both Head and Sharma shaped some of SRH’s all-time fastest half-centuries over the last month and a half, and have played influential roles in team’s record totals of 277 and 287. In case of selecting an SRH-heavy fantasy XI, it is imperative to pick the two in-form opening batters for your team.
  • In the bowling department, fast bowler T Natarajan has collected 13 wickets from just seven innings this season at an impressive average of 19.38. Apart from leading SRH’s wicket-taking race, the speedster also finds himself just a scalp away from season’s ‘Purple Cap’ holder Jasprit Bumrah. Among the spinners, Mayank Markande has roared the most for the ‘Orange Army’ with eight wickets from seven matches.

Rajasthan Royals Heavy Fantasy XI

  • Much of Rajasthan Royals success this IPL 2024 season can be attributed to the collective brilliance of their entire top-order. With openers Yashasvi Jaiswal and Jos Buttler as well as the likes of Riyan Parag firing on all cylinders, it is captain Sanju Samson who is leading the run-scoring race for his team. The dashing wicketkeeper-batter has composed 385 runs at an average of 77, all while striking at more than 160.
  • Seasoned spinner Yuzvendra Chahal has snared 13 wickets from nine matches to lead Rajasthan Royals’ bowling charge this season. Meanwhile, fast bowlers Trent Boult (10 wickets) and Avesh Khan (nine wickets) have been consistently setting the tone for their side upfront with the new-ball. Sandeep Sharma has emerged as another trump card for his captain Sanju Samson, considering the speedster currently holds eight wickets in his tally from just four IPL 2024 innings.

SRH vs RR Winner Prediction

Rajasthan Royals, under Sanju Samson, continue to occupy the top spot on the IPL 2024 points table. They have already registered eight wins this season from just nine matches and are currently at the brink of qualifying for the playoffs. Considering their recent form, the Royals will start out as favorites to topple the SRH at Hyderabad on May 2.
