The Rajasthan Royals (RR) will look to keep their hopes of reaching the Indian Premier League (IPL) playoff spots alive with a win against bottom-placed Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) when the two meet in Dubai today.
A win could take Rajasthan to fourth in the table, if the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) win their fixture against defending champions Mumbai Indians (MI) on Sunday. Rajasthan are currently seventh with eight points from nine games, level with MI, Punjab Kings and the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) above them.
SRH are already out of contention for the playoffs, following just one victory and eight losses.
In the second leg of the T20 league, RR defeated Punjab Kings by two runs before losing by 33 runs against table toppers Delhi Capitals on Saturday.
