It’s Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Rajasthan Royals in Eliminator for 2026 IPL season. This is a straight knockout game where the winner will go on to play Qualifier 2 against Gujarat Titans who lost to Royal Challengers Bengaluru in yesterday’s Qualifier 1. RCB will await the winner of Qualifier 2 in the final.
The two teams had a contrasting start to the season. RR won their first four matches, whereas SRH lost three of their first four. But the Orange team regained form following the return of their full-time captain Pat Cummins to win eight of their last 10 matches and finish tied with RCB and GT at the summit. They only missed out on playing Qualifier 1 due to net run rate.
SRH are slight favorites thanks to their batting lineup. Not only do they have Abhishek Sharma, Travis Head and Ishan Kishan at the top, all of whom have been firing, but the purple patch of Heinrich Klaasen, who is in the race 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 phase. But they will be happy with their overall form heading into tonight’s encounter.
They played a virtual knockout game against Mumbai Indians last weekend, with Jofra Archer rising to the occasion, not only making 32 off 15 with the bat but also taking 3/17 in his four overs with the ball.
