Read more to find out SRH vs RR Dream11 Prediction, Player Stats, Captain & Vice-Captain, Fantasy Cricket Tips, Pitch report, Playing XI, Injury and weather updates.
The 2022 season was one of best seasons for Royals, as they missed the tittle narrowly. The finished second on the table with 9 wins in 14 games. Their strong bowling line-up was one of the main causes for their excellent performance. They now have added the services of Jason Holder to their arsenal and overall look like a decent roster. They would be looking to do one better this season.
Sunrisers Hyderabad, on the other hand had a strange season. They started with 3 consecutive losses, then won 5 games in a row, which was then followed by a 5-match losing streak. They finished 8th on the table with 6 wins in 14 games. SRH have made a lot of changes to their squad, adding players like Mayank Agarwal, Harry Brook & Adil Rashid to fill their holes. They will also be playing with a new skipper Aiden Markram, who recently won the inaugural season of the SA20. They look the end their poor run this season with this reworked squad.

SRH vs RR: Dream 11 Top Picks & Player Stats
Harry Brook (SRH)
The Sunrisers spent big bucks to obtain the services of this English batter. Surely, he will be the centre of attraction in this clash, as he has also been riding on red-hot form in recent international games.
Jos Buttler (RR)
Buttler lit up the IPL 2022 with his supreme batting. He was the most valuable player of the tournament and also won the Orange Cap this season. He amassed a total of 863 runs in 17 innings at an average of 57 and a strike rate of 149 with 4 hundreds in the tournament.
Umran Malik (SRH)
The Jammu Express steam-rolled batters with his unplayable pace. He also won the emerging player award and was brutal in the middle overs of the innings. The speedster picked up a total of 22 wickets at an average of 20.18 and an economy of 9.03 and is a good choice for the fantasy XI.
