Additionally, RR has triumphed in eight out of nine matches, securing the top position on the points table. Rajasthan has won four out of their last five matches.
Typically, the chasing team holds an advantage due to the potential influence of dew on the game. The Hyderabad pitch facilitates early seam movement, providing assistance to the bowlers. Yet, the presence of the hard new ball also enhances batters' ability to strike cleanly.
During the evening in Hyderabad, the temperature will hover around 31°C, with a real feel of approximately 30°C. Humidity levels are expected to be around 21%, and there is no likelihood of rain.
