Background
SRH vs RR Live Score, IPL 2024 Qualifier 2: Two final matches remain in the seventeenth edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL). What has been an exciting journey is nearing its blockbuster climax with three teams remaining in the hunt to win the trophy. One of them Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) are waiting in the final while their opponent in the titular contest will be decided with the Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) vs Rajasthan Royals (RR) faceoff at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai.
Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Rajasthan Royals Live Score, IPL 2024 Qualifier 2: Hyderabad have been one team that have forced everyone to take notice. They have really gone attacking from the word go with their batting which has been their strength. However, that has also meant that when their plan hasn't worked, they have had to settle with par minus scores and on most occasions, succumbed to a defeat.
It was a case of their batting not working as per its strength in Qualifier 1 against KKR where Travis Head departed for a duck and SRH were reduced to 39/4 inside the powerplay. KKR needed no second invitation and dominated pretty much the remainder of the game.
As far as Rajasthan are concerned, it has been a season of two halves really. In the first half, the inaugural champions appeared to be the team to beat, setting up a winning spree. In the latter half, they just couldn't find a way to win but thanks to their brilliant run to get things underway in the first place, they managed to go through to the final four.
In the Eliminator, however, RR did find a way to perform against an in-form team and knocked Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) out of their way to keep the dream of a second IPL title alive.
Who will meet KKR In the final then? Let's find out together over the course of the next few hours.
