If Rajasthan Royals win today's match then the playoffs will be pretty much assured. However, if Sunrisers Hyderabad win today's match, their chances of reaching the playoffs will remain. But so far Sunrisers Hyderabad have very little chance of winning due to the playing conditions. Two of Sunrisers Hyderabad's top-order batsmen were out for 35 runs, so their team score could not go much further. If Sunrisers Hyderabad score below 200 runs today, it will be very difficult to win.
Hyderabad started their innings very badly today. At the end of 6 overs of the powerplay, Sunrisers Hyderabad could only score 37 runs, losing two wickets. I thought the team might not be able to deliver a big target today. Hyderabad did not play well in the last two matches either. Hyderabad have been defeated in two matches. So I thought Hyderabad would give small target today too and lose. But Hyderabad batted well enough. Hyderabad collected 201 runs.
Nitish reddy batted well today. Nitish Reddy was unbeaten with 76 runs from 42 balls. Also heinrich Klaasen batted very aggressively. Klaasen was unbeaten with 42 runs from just 19 balls.
However, Rajasthan is a strong team. Rajasthan has the ability to win big targets. Hyderabad's bowling order is also not strong enough. Even though the target is big, I still say Rajasthan has more chances to win.
