SRH vs RR Dream11 prediction: 3 players you can pick as captain or vice-captain for today’s IPL 2024 Qualifier 2 – May 24, 2024

On Friday (May 24), the SunRisers Hyderabad (SRH) will square off against the Rajasthan Royals (RR) in Qualifier 2 of the IPL (Indian Premier League) 2024 at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai.

SRH suffered an eight-wicket loss against the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in Qualifier 1 earlier this week. SRH batted first and were all out for 159 runs, with Rahul Tripathi leading the score with a 55-run innings, followed by Heinrich Klaasen's 32 and Pat Cummins' 30 off 24 balls. However, KKR chased down the target in 13.4 overs with eight wickets in hand.

Meanwhile, the Royals are coming off a comfortable four-wicket win over the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in the Eliminator. Bowling first, they limited RCB to a below-par score of 172/8, with Avesh Khan claiming three wickets and Ravichandran Ashwin taking two.

In reply, RR achieved the target in 19 overs, thanks to Yashasvi Jaiswal's 45-run knock, Riyan Parag’s 36 off 26, and Shimron Hetmyer’s 14-ball 26.

SRH defeated RR in the reverse fixture in the league stage match. However, both teams are now keen to deliver strong performances and secure a spot in the final.

On that note, let's look at three players you could pick as the captain/vice-captain for the SRH vs RR Dream11 match.
