The match 45 of Indian Premier League (IPL) 2019 will be going to take place between Rajasthan Royals (RR) and Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium, Jaipur on Saturday, April 27.
RR are currently placed at the seventh spot with eight points from 11 games and would be looking to take confidence from their three-wicket win at the Eden Gardens in their last encounter.
Varun Aaron was impressive against KKR but was hampered by a cramps, this could see Dhawal Kulkarni being drafted in. Archer’s bowling role is likely to be filled in OShane Thomas.
On the other hand, SRH, placed at the fourth spot with five wins from 10 games, would want to leave behind the six-wicket win against Chennai Super Kings and return to winning ways. Guptill for Bairstow is a straightforward swap, but SRH need to drop an Indian batsman to get in Saha or Goswami.
But we also know that SRH’s skipper Kane Williamson was also left on the bench to make way for Shakib Al Hasan in the last match.
