The Rajasthan Royals will be looking to carry its winning momentum forward when they face the Sunrisers Hyderabad in the 28th game of the Indian Premier League (IPL) in Jaipur on Sunday.
When these sides met earlier in the tournament, Hyderabad completed a comprehensive nine-wicket win.
Rajasthan managed to break a two-match losing streak in the last-over win over the Mumbai Indians in its last outing, courtesy of a late Krishnappa Gowtham blitz.
The Royals have been inconsistent so far in the competition, and will have to produce their A-game against Hyderabad.
Rajasthan‘s main weakness so far is their bowling unit, but the inclusion of pacer Jofra Archer certainly made an impact as they were able to restrict Mumbai to a modest total.
He was the standout performer and finished with figures of three for 22 from his four overs on his debut.
Left-arm quick Jaydev Unadkat hasn’t been able to create an impact with the ball, whereas leg-spinner Shreyas Gopal has been quite effective in the middle overs.
Sanju Samson has been leading the batting charts for Rajasthan with 239 runs in six innings, which included two half-centuries. Captain Ajinkya Rahane has been decent at the top of the innings.

All-rounder Ben Stokes finally found form with the bat in the last game against Mumbai. His batting looked fluent and will be a player to watch out for in this game.
Wicket-keeper Jos Buttler has been a big disappointment so far with the bat and clearly needs to raise his game for the side.
On the other hand, in the absence of regular captain David Warner, Hyderabad have done exceedingly well with four wins out of six games.
In their last match, Hyderabad register a comfortable 31-run win even after scoring just 118 runs while batting first.
Opener Shikhar Dhawan will be desperate to get runs in this game after a freakish injury sustained in the match against Kings XI Punjab.
Captain Kane Williamson is the leading run-scorer for Hyderabad with 259 runs in six games with three half-centuries.
Bangladesh all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan and middle-order batsman Manish Pandey have been inconsistent for the team, and therefore, better things will be expected of them.
Afghanistan’s Mohammad Nabi has done well after being slotted into the starting eleven, whereas his countrymen leg-spinner Rashid Khan will be keen to continue his good form with the ball.
Sandeep Sharma and Siddharth Kaul have been impressive for Sunrisers with the new-ball.
