SRH have beaten RR in both meetings this season and lead the all-time series 14-9. The form is too strong to argue against.

SRH beat RR by 57 runs in Hyderabad and chased down 229 with nine balls to spare in Jaipur. Abhishek, Kishan and Klaasen have all passed 500 runs this season and are each in career-best form. Cummins has a death-overs economy of 5.66 and has dismissed Parag three times in four IPL innings.

RR’s one advantage is this ground, where they are unbeaten in three games at Mullanpur, including a six-wicket win over PBKS here in April.Parag and Jadeja are both carrying injuries into an Eliminator, which is a serious concern. Beyond Sooryavanshi and Jaiswal, RR’s middle order has been fragile all season.

SRH have the bowling depth to target that and their batting is simply more consistent top to bottom. Back them to progress.

Sooryavanshi smashed 103 off 37 against SRH the last time these sides met, hitting Hinge for 30 off nine balls. He has 583 runs at a strike rate of 232 this season and needs seven sixes to break Chris Gayle’s all-time IPL record for most macimums in a season. The Mullanpur surface and the occasion suit his game entirely. Has to be backed.

Value Bet

Heinrich Klaasen

Klaasen has 606 runs this season and has not been dismissed by a spinner all year. Jadeja has restricted him to a strike rate of 100 in six IPL innings but Jadeja is nursing an injury into this game. On a fast Mullanpur surface with a quick outfield, Klaasen in the middle overs is the most dangerous batting proposition in this fixture.
