12BET Predictions: Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Rajasthan Royals, IPL 2022

Sunrisers and the Royals will begin their campaigns tomorrow as they face each other in their opening match of this season. Both the teams will be looking to put the disappointment of last season behind them, where they finished 7th and 8th respectively. This season, with new faces in both camps, they will definitely hope to improve on their performances of last season, and what better way to kick things off than by winning your first game. Betting in India will have a tough time choosing a favourite from this game.

Sunrisers Hyderabad

After the disaster of last season, the Sunrises have gone ahead and bolstered their ranks to perform better with the cricket bat. They cleared shop in wholesale out went David Warner, Jonny Bairstow and Rashid Khan, and in come stylish opener Aiden Markram, explosive West Indian Tyro Nicholas Pooran, and fiery pacer Marco Jansen. With a host of domestic players to accommodate this talent and led by one of the sharpest minds in world cricket in the form of Kane Williamson, the Hyderabadis will look to assert themselves in the contest as early as possible.

Rajasthan Royals

The Royals have waited long and hard, and this year it genuinely seems like they have a squad capable to compete for the crown at last. After having a brilliant auction, they have strengthened their squad with the right blend of experience and youth, while keeping their core intact. The squad is one of the most balanced in terms of squad depth, and with Sanju Samson as captain, the Royals hope that they finally find the right balance to win matches where they normally fall short based on past failures. 

Head-to-Head

The head-to-head between the sides is extremely close, with Hyderabad just about edging this with 8 wins out of the 15 times they’ve faced each other. Rajasthan has won the remaining 7.

Prediction

Even though both the teams have new faces and enough quality in their ranks, Rajasthan Royals are expected to win this solely on the basis of their quality in depth. Don’t write the Sunrisers out though.
