Sunrisers Hyderabad and Rajasthan Royals will face off each other in their second match of IPL 2019 campaign at RGIC Stadium in Hyderabad tonight. 

Sunrisers Hyderabad lost their opening encounter to Kolkata Knight Riders and will be looking to return on winning ways at their home ground. The return of captain Kane Williamson will also boost their confidence. David Warner looked in great touch in the first match and SRH camp will be hoping that Kane too will join the party. In bowling, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Sandeep Sharma, and Sidharth Kaul had an average outing but they should make a good comeback in Hyderabad.

On the other hand, Rajasthan Royals must be gutted after not winning the first match against KXIP despite being in a great position. Jos Buttler was super impressive and if he continues to bat like this then it will not be easy for SRH bowlers to stop him. Ajinkya Rahane, Sanju Samson and Steve Smith need to score big runs. In the bowling Dhawal Kulkarni, Jofra Archer and Gowtham were good but Ben Stokes and Jaydev Unadkat were too expensive and they need to a lot of work in this field.
