In what promises to be a thrilling encounter, the Rajasthan Royals (RR) are set to clash with the Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in Qualifier 2 of the Indian Premier League 2024 playoffs. The match will take place at the iconic M A Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai.
The highly anticipated match is scheduled to take place, with both teams eyeing a spot in the final against the Kolkata Knight Riders.
The path to Qualifier 2 has been different for both teams.

On the flip side, Sunrisers Hyderabad faced defeat in the Qualifier 1 encounter against Kolkata Knight Riders, losing by eight wickets at the same venue.
As the teams gear up for this crucial clash, the history between RR and SRH adds an extra layer of intrigue. Having faced each other 19 times in the IPL, the record slightly favors SRH, who have emerged victorious on 10 occasions, while RR have secured 9 wins.
In the playoffs specifically, RR and SRH have crossed paths once before, during the IPL 2013 Eliminator match. In that encounter, Rajasthan Royals emerged triumphant with a 4 wicket victory.
The match is scheduled to commence at 7:30 PM IST (2:00 PM GMT), with the toss slated for 7:00 PM IST (1:30 PM GMT). Cricket enthusiasts can catch all the action live on the Star Sports Network in India. Additionally, for those preferring online streaming, JioCinema offers live coverage of the match.
