IPL 2021 SRH vs RR Match 40 Prediction – Who will win this clash between Kane Williamson and Sanju Samson?

On Monday, September 27 at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium, Sunrisers Hyderabad will face Rajasthan Royals in Match No. 40 of the 2021 Indian Premier League. The Sunrisers, coached by Kane Williamson, are in terrible situations, lying at the bottom of the points table.

They fell by five runs against Punjab Kings in their last encounter after failing to chase down a 126-run target. Jason Holder hit five sixes in an attempt to keep the Orange Army in the game, but it was in vain. It won't be surprising if they make several changes to their starting lineup for the following game.

The Royals, on the other hand, are in seventh position in the standings. Their confidence would have been shaken after losing by 33 runs against the Delhi Capitals. However, their captain, Sanju Samson, appeared to be in terrific form. RR can't afford to be complacent and must string together a few victories.

Pitch Report
The batting surface in Dubai has been rather nice. The bowlers, particularly the fast bowlers, have gotten a lot out of the surface. On the strip, chasing has always been difficult. Batting first should be the preferred strategy.

Average first innings score: 159 (3 matches in the IPL 2021 at Dubai)

Probable Playing XI Sunrisers Hyderabad:

David Warner/Jason Roy, Wriddhiman Saha (wk), Manish Pandey, Kane Williamson (c), Kedar Jadhav/Priyam Garg, Abdul Samad/Abhishek Sharma, Jason Holder, Rashid Khan, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Khaleel Ahmed, Sandeep Sharma

Probable Playing XI Rajasthan Royals:

Evin Lewis/David Miller, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Sanju Samson (c & wk), Liam Livingstone, Mahipal Lomror, Riyan Parag, Rahul Tewatia, Chris Morris /Tabraiz Shamsi, Chetan Sakariya, Kartik Tyagi, Mustafizur Rahman

Probable best batsman of the match- Rajasthan Royals: Sanju Samson

In the latest season of the T20 tournament, Sanju Samson has been the Royals' outstanding batsman. He is presently his team's best run scorer, with 351 runs scored in nine games at an average of 50.14 and a strike rate of 141.53%. He was unbeaten on 70 in the last game, and the knock should boost his confidence, even though it was in vain.

Probable best bowler of the match- Rajasthan Royals: Mustafizur Rahman

With the ball in his hands, Mustafizur Rahman has been superb for the Royals. In the present edition of the IPL, the Bangladesh left-arm pacer has taken ten wickets. Furthermore, he has bowled at an economy rate of 7.88, indicating that he has been successful at tying down hitters in the last overs. By no means can the southpaw afford to let his guard down.
