SRH v RR: Match Details

  • Date – Tuesday, March 29, 2022
  • Time – 7:30 PM IST
  • Venue – Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium, Pune

SRH v RR Match Preview:

Sunrisers are reportedly going to open with Kane Williamson and Abhishek Sharma this season. With Williamson as the anchor, expect Abhishek to attack from ball one. SRH has got a high intent middle order with Nicholas Pooran and Aiden Markram in the mix. Watch out for Abdul Samad. 

The bowling looks a bit weak. Bhuvneshwar Kumar will need to step up his game and guide Umran Malik/T Natarajan. Romario Shepherd is a possible pace bowling all-round option for SRH to play. 

Rajasthan has a solid top-five batters with the likes of Jos Buttler, Sanju Samson, and Shimron Hetmyer. The lower order isn't that reliable with Riyan Parag likely to be given the finishing duties. 

RR has a great spin duo - R Ashwin and Yuvendra Chahal - perfect for Pune conditions. Trent Boult will be crucial with the new ball.
