New Delhi. On Friday, Sunrisers Hyderabad and Rajasthan Royals will face off in a high-stakes qualifier match at the Chepauk Stadium in Chennai to make it to the final. Kolkata Knight Riders have already sealed their place in the final and all eyes will be on this thrilling encounter. With predictions and analysis, a supercomputer has predicted that Rajasthan Royals will emerge victorious in this thrilling match. However, fans are eager to understand which team holds the edge statically.
Rajasthan Royals struggled before the Eliminator and lost five matches in a row. The departure of their key opener Jos Buttler further dented their confidence. Despite this, they rallied as a team and found their rhythm to beat a spirited Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in the knockout stage. In contrast, SRH are entering this match potentially under pressure after a loss in Qualifier 1. Historically, matches between these two teams have been extremely competitive. This Qualifier is the 20th IPL clash between SRH and RR. Out of the last 19 matches, SRH have won 10 while RR have won 9. This season, SRH outclassed RR in a thrilling encounter and won by just one run.
Interestingly, despite their many IPL encounters, SRH and RR have never faced each other at the Chepauk Stadium in Chennai. However, both teams have played against other IPL teams at this venue with limited success. SRH have a poor record at Chepauk, winning only one of ten matches and losing eight. Similarly, RR have won only two of their nine matches here, losing the other seven. SRH’s only win at Chepauk came while batting first, while RR won both their matches while chasing. Given these stats, another close contest is expected, with both teams having a point to prove and the final spot at stake. Fans can expect a thrilling battle as SRH and RR aim to move one step closer to the coveted IPL trophy.
