Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Rajasthan Royals prediction

Whilst Sunrisers Hyderabad have not had the start to the league stage they would’ve wanted, losing three of four so far. Being at home could give them edge and if they are to push towards the play-off places, they need to start winning in front of their own fans. However, a formidable challenge lies ahead in the form of Rajasthan Royals and their 15-year-old wonderkid of an opener.

Vaibhav Sooryavanshi’s latest knock, 78 from 26 balls helped down Virat Kohli and Royal Challengers Bengaluru as this youngster’s star continues to shine brightly upon this tournament. He now leads the league in runs scored, having racked up exactly 200 runs in just four innings at an average of exactly 50. Such form cannot be ignored and backing him to register another healthy stack of runs here has to be favoured.
