The 40th fixture of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2021 sees Sunrisers Hyderabad take on Rajasthan Royals at Dubai International Cricket Stadium on September 27 (Monday). The match is scheduled to begin at 7:30pm IST.

Teams Status

Sunrisers Hyderabad

Even a four-month-long break did nothing to reset Hyderabad’s fortunes and save their fast sinking ship. They’ve been just as abysmal as they were before the Covid break.

Since the restart, they’ve lost both their matches, including the one against Punjab Kings last night where all they had to do was chase down 126 runs and they couldn’t even do that.

It’s almost unbelievable that a side featuring an IPL legend like David Warner, a generational batsman such as Kane Williamson and several other internationals could not manage a target that low.

Their bowlers deserved credit on the night for restricting Punjab to just 125-7 but there is no point now as five straight defeats and just one win all season has put them out of playoff contention. Here comes an array of dead rubbers for them.

Rajasthan Royals

Rajasthan Royals have won one and lost one since IPL resumed. They sit just a spot above Hyderabad but are still very much in playoff contention, thanks to their haul of eight points from nine games.

It cannot be said that they are impressive but they are competing at the very least. In their first game of the UAE leg, they beat Punjab Kings by a slim margin before being beaten by league leaders Delhi Capitals in the next game.

In the defeat to Delhi, their batting betrayed them, which is not a new or unheard of story. Captain Sanju Samson finished with an unbeaten 70, and Mahipal Lomror was the only other batter to score in double figures as the Royals could muster just 12 in response to Delhi’s 154.

Tipster’s Angle

Tip: Rajasthan to win @ 1.73

Hyderabad’s season has ended. They now have no real motivation left to play except enhance personal careers. The management might now try and field fringe players or unused talent, while also trying to save those who are to play in next month’s T20 World Cup. Based on that, we back Rajasthan to win at odds of 1.73 with Dafabet.

Tip: Sunrisers Hyderabad to score over 5.5 runs in 1^st over

While the motivation is gone, so should the fear also be. With nothing to play for, we expect Hyderabad openers to take more risk early on and play their natural game, which is why we think they can score more than 5.5 runs in the opening over of their innings. Their approach might eventually fail but it can give an initial burst of runs up top. The play can be found on Dafabet.
