IPL 2019: 8th Match, Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Rajasthan Royals - Weather Report

IPL 2019: 8th Match, Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Rajasthan Royals – Weather Report; The Indian Premier League tournament has already delivered required ingredients for the fans to enjoy it to the core. Meanwhile, now, it is the time for Hyderabad people to watch their first game of the season at home.

The last year runner-up Sunrisers Hyderabad and Rajasthan Royals are coming into the tournament with a loss on their backpack. Both of them have been pretty close to victory in their games but for obvious reasons, they ended up on the wrong side of things.

Both teams lost their first game:

Sunrisers would be eager to deliver goods in the conditions, which are a piece of bread and butter for the team. On the other hand, Rajasthan would like to make most of the opportunity to secure their first victory of the season.

The local side has no worries regarding their batting section.  David Warner hit a 53-ball 85 as SRH posted a big total on the board. But Kolkata Knight Riders were steady from the start and eventually switched gears thanks to a blistering 49 by Andre Russell. Shubman Gill finished it off for KKR by hitting two sixes in the last over.

However, they would like to have a look at their bowling and come up with a perfect plan for Rajasthan batsmen. Bhuvneshwar Kumar looked clueless against Andre Russell, however, Kumar always excelled in Hyderabad conditions.

Rajasthan Royals on the hand were at the receiving end of a Gayle Storm before having the perfect start to their run chase. Needing 184 to win, RR was at one point 109/1 before R Ashwin controversially dismissed the in-form Jos Buttler. RR eventually lost seven wickets for 17 runs as they lost the game by 14 runs.

Despite both teams lost their opening games, there were quite a lot of positives to take from their respective matches. Sunrisers Hyderabad who was largely known as a bowling unit improved significantly with the return of David Warner while Rajasthan Royals too had a good day with the bat albeit the collapse later on in the innings.

Changes:

Most probably, the core of the unit will remain the same for the upcoming clash at Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium. They might look to make a few tactical changes to the bowling sides to bring variety to the side.

Date and Venue: March 29 (Friday) at Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, Hyderabad

Weather Forecast:

The temperature would hover around 30 degrees. Celsius. However, as the game is played at night, it will be a cool evening wind blowing all around. The fast bowling sections of both the team would like to make the most of the climatic advantage.

As far as the rain is concerned, there isn’t even a 1% chance to disturb the game. However, there can be any raining, it would be raining of sixes from the flashy blades of either team batsmen.
