In an attempt to advance to the Indian Premier League IPL 2024 championship game, Sunrisers Hyderabad and Rajasthan Royals go to Chennai to compete. The game’s winner will play Kolkata Knight Riders on Sunday at the same location.
Sanju Samson won the toss, just as in the previous game, and he once again chose to bowl first. Trent Boult dismissed Abhishek Sharma, Aiden Markram, and Rahul Tripathi with three consecutive strikes in the powerplay overs. The spinners for the Rajasthan Royals kept Hyderabad under pressure by taking key wickets.
But Heinrich Klaasen was a one-man show, hitting four sixes en route to 50 runs off only 34 balls. After 20 overs, the SRH could manage only 175 runs, with Avesh Khan and Boult taking three wickets apiece and Sandeep Sharma taking two.
Powerplay: Time-out at 51/1 after 6 overs, after overs 0.1 to 6.
Jaiswal had little trouble taking on the SRH bowlers, while the Englishman was having trouble scoring runs. Before the powerplay, in the last over, the young batter faced Bhuvneshwar Kumar, hitting him for 19 runs in a single over.
Rajasthan Royals: fifty runs in five overs
While Tom Kohler-Cadmore was having trouble in the early portion of the powerplay, Yashasvi Jaiswal pursued the bowlers. When Tripathi caught the English batter for ten, Pat Cummins’ suffering came to an end.
Second time out for Rajasthan Royals (93/6 from 14 overs)
The spin of the Hyderabad spinners eventually claimed the lives of the remaining Royals hitters after Yashasvi Jaiswal went down. SRH advanced to the final thanks to a five-wicket partnership between Abhishek Sharma and Shahbaz Ahmed.

100 runs from 15 overs for Rajasthan Royals
With two consecutive fours from Shahbaz Ahmed, Dhruv Jurel stretched his shoulders and started to shoot a few shots. With Rovman Powell by his side, the young player carried the hopes of the entire team on his shoulders.
Dhruv Jurel off 26 balls at the halfway point
Young Dhruv Jurel stood alone and fought a solitary struggle, while none of the Royals batters rose to the occasion. For the youthful player, it was his second half-century of the season.
Rajasthan Royals 139/7 from 20 overs at the conclusion of the match
Sunrisers Hyderabad’s spinners put on a masterful display, dismantling the Royals. After SRH defeated KKR by 36 runs to go to their third IPL final, Pat Cummins was ecstatic. KKR will now face SRH three times this season.
