IPL 2020: Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Rajasthan Royals fantasy 11 predictions: Top Dream11 picks for SRH vs RR

The 2016 Indian Premier League (IPL) champions Sunrisers Hyderabad will take on inaugural season winners Rajasthan Royals in match 26. The two teams will lock horns at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium, Dubai on October 11, 2020 (Sunday). It’s a day game, and as a result, the match will begin at 3:30 PM (IST). Let’s look at our fantasy 11 predictions for this clash and here are top picks for SRH vs RR.

Team Preview

Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH)

With three wins and as many losses, David Warner’s Sunrisers Hyderabad holds the third spot at the Points Table. SRH played their last game against Kings XI Punjab, where they registered a thumping victory by 69 runs. Their openers Warner and Jonny Bairstow laid the foundation of their win with a massive partnership of 160 runs.

Despite losing Bhuvneshwar Kumar before the start of this game, SRH bowlers did a commendable job to defend the total comprehensively. The Hyderabad-based will look to take the field with a similar playing XI. The only change they can think of is to bring back Vijay Shankar (if he’s fit) in place of Abdul Samad.

Rajasthan Royals (RR)

Rajasthan Royals have had a forgettable season so far in this edition of Indian Premier League. After winning their first two matches, RR reached the pole position at the Points Table. But after that, Steve Smith and co. suffered four consecutive losses to find the second last spot in the charts.

Rajasthan Royals’ last game came against Delhi Capitals where they lost to chase down the total despite a decent bowling effort. The good news for them is the arrival of the ace all-rounder, Ben Stokes in their squad for this match. It would be interesting to see if the Englishman can turn around the fortunes for the Royals or not.
