IPL 2024 Match 50 | SRH vs RR | Fantasy Tips, Prediction & Preview

Sunrisers Hyderabad will lock horns with Rajasthan Royals in match 50 of IPL 2024. Sunrisers will be coming into the clash after losing their last two matches, and taking on the in-form Royals could prove to be a daunting challenge. On the other hand, the Royals have been in exceptional form in the tournament so far. 

Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) are currently witnessing a slump in form due to two successive losses. Pat Cummins and his team have played terrific cricket, but the two reversals will make them rethink their strategies going ahead. The side lost to the Chennai Super Kings by 78 runs in the last game. Their batting line-up, which has enjoyed great form this year, had an off day in the game. They are fourth on the points table, and the side will look to win this game and improve their chances of reaching the next round. 

On the other hand, Rajasthan Royals (RR) have been the best team this season, and a win will guarantee them a spot in the playoffs. RR has been the most consistent team this season, with eight wins and a single defeat so far. Sanju Samson's side has done well this year, with key players in good form. They defeated the Lucknow Super Giants in the last game by 7 wickets. The side comfortably sits at the top of the points table. A win here will strengthen their position, and Samson would like a strong show from his players in this game.
