Both the teams had made contrasting starts to their campaign. Royals were off the mark with two thumping wins. But things have gone only downhill for them since then. They lost their following four games and need to get back to winning ways quickly or else the remainder of the season will become just a mere formality.

Sunrisers Hyderabad, on the other hand, started their campaign with two defeats. However, the David Warner-led side has bounced back in style and has won three of its last four games to keep pace with the other teams. A win today will put them in the top four.
