A lot of drama unfolded during their last meeting in Hyderabad earlier this season. Abhishek Sharma and Vaibhav Sooryavanshi registered golden ducks. SRH debutants Praful Hinge and Sakib Hussain picked up four wickets each to bowl out RR on 159, while defending 216 runs at Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium.

Praful Hinge created history by taking three wickets in the first over, an unprecedented feat in IPL history. However, Hussain made the biggest impact with four big wickets later in the game.

Rajasthan will look to avenge the loss and snap their losing streak against Hyderabad today.

Sunrisers Hyderabad dominate the head-to-head record with 13 wins in 22 IPL matches against Rajasthan Royals. SRH have also won their last five encounters against RR.

• Matches played - 22
• SRH won - 13
• RR won - 9
• NR - 0

Sunrisers Hyderabad had a mixed first half of the season with 4 wins and 3 defeats in seven matches. Under Ishan Kishan's leadership, the team lost three of the opening four matches, but now enters this fixture with three straight wins.

SRH defeated Delhi Capitals by 47 runs while defending 242 runs in the last match. Abhishek Sharma smashed an unbeaten 135 to take a lead in the Orange Cap race and is looking red hot for another big innings tonight.

Travis Head and Ishan Kishan have struggled with consistency, while the likes of Aniket Verma and Salil Arora are yet to make an impact. Bowling is looking balanced after Pat Cummins return, with Eshan Malinga and Harsh Dubey showing a lot of promise.

Rajasthan Royals returned to winning ways in their last game after losing two away matches. The Royals defended 159 runs against Lucknow Super Giants to return to second in the points table. With five wins in seven games, the Royals are looking good for the playoffs.

Vaibhav Sooryavanshi and Yashasvi Jaiswal have struggled to show consistency after a strong start to the season. Riyan Parag's lean form in the middle is another big concern for the hosts.

However, the 2008 IPL champions have made significant improvements with the ball in the recent games. Jofra Archer and Ravi Bishnoi have been superb with 11 wickets each, and others are also contributing with the ball.

Sunrisers Hyderabad captain is set to play his first match of the season. The Australian pacer will take back captain's armband from Ishan Kishan and will look to start with two points today.

Pat Cummins is likely to replace Dilshan Madushanka is SRH's playing XI today.
