It is Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Rajasthan Royals in the Eliminator of IPL 2026 season. It is a knockout match with the winner playing Qualifier 2 against Gujarat Titans, who lost to Royal Challengers Bengaluru in Qualifier 1 yesterday. RCB awaits the winner of Qualifier 2 in the final.
The two teams are having contrasting starts to the season. RR won their first four matches, while SRH lost three of their first four. But the Orange team returned to form after the return of full-time captain Pat Cummins to win eight of their last 10 matches and finish level on points with RCB and GT at the top. They only missed playing Qualifier 1 due to net run rate.
SRH are slight favorites thanks to their batting line-up. Not only do they have Abhishek Sharma, Travis Head and Ishan Kishan at the top, all of whom have fired, but also the purple patch of Heinrich Klaasen, who is in the running for the orange cap.
RR, on the other hand, rely on their openers, especially 15-year-old prodigy Vaibhav Suryavanshi, who smashed a century in defeat the last time these two teams met in the league stage. But they will be happy with their overall form ahead of tonight’s encounter.
They played a virtual knockout match against Mumbai Indians last weekend in which Jofra Archer rose to the occasion, not only making 32 off 15 with the bat but also taking 3/17 in his four overs with the ball.
