Topmost Picks for SRH vs RR Dream11 Prediction:

Top Picks – Sunrisers Hyderabad

• Bhuvaneshwar Kumar: Although there is a little swing to offer in Hyderabad under the lights, this veteran Indian bowler is not only the most experienced bowler in the side
• Harry Brook: The Englishman is one of the most looked-after players in this edition especially after he showed tremendous form in red-ball cricket.

Top Picks – Rajasthan Royals

• Jos Butler- The dynamic English opening batsman needs no introduction to any IPL fan. Having already scored 372 runs from his last 10 matches for the franchise
• Sanju Samson- The RR captain is known for smashing centuries in the inaugural weeks of the tournament.

Suggested Playing XI N0.1 for SRH vs RR Dream11 Team:

SRH vs RR Probable Winners:

This matchup has all the ingredients to be a close encounter only if the marquee stars of SRH come to the party. While there are the likes of Butler, Boult, Chahal, Samson, Ashwin, and Holder on one side, Hyderabad can bring the party to them if they clinch early wickets and dismiss the top-order batsmen within the powerplay. RR’s spin attack can still be the x-factor against Harry Brook and Glenn Phillips. Considering the team combination, Rajasthan Royals is expected to win this match.
