Sunrisers Hyderabad had a disappointing outing in the first qualifier against the Kolkata Knight Riders but a washed-out game in Guwahati for Rajasthan Royals meant that the Pat Cummins and Co got the second shot at making the final.
The Sunrisers are the most transformed team in the 2024 edition of the IPL and irrespective of the result in the first qualifier, they will stick to their brand of
cricket, which has given them the most success and on a fresh surface in Chennai, it could very well work for the Orange Army. Against them is Rajasthan Royals, who found confidence and a winning momentum after four losses and a washout. Expect a humdinger between a batting-heavy side and a strong bowling outfit.
SRH will now be meeting KKR in the final of the tournament on May 26 at the same venue in Chennai.
