RR vs SRH: In Qualifier 2 of the IPL 2024, Sunrisers Hyderabad defeated Rajasthan Royals to face KKR in the finals of the cash-rich league. Sunrisers Hyderabad read the conditions well, used their spinners at the right time to defend 175 runs, and won the match by 36 runs.
Rajasthan Royals’ skipper Sanju Samson, after winning the toss, chose to bowl first, and RR bowler Trent Boult, after being hit for 11 runs, took the revenge to dismiss opener Abhishek Sharma in the first over of the match. Rahul Tripathi batted well and scored a quick 37 runs to provide the boost in run rate, but he was trapped by Boult in his slow bouncer. Heinrich Klaasen was the player who kept going with his play and scored a splendid half-century in the qualifiers. SRH finished with 175/9 at the end of 20 overs.
Chasing the target of 176, RR’s start wasn’t impressive as they lost their opener, Kohler-Cadmore, with a score of 10. Yashasvi Jaiswal didn’t get affected by the wicket and kept attacking the bowlers, but his innings ended when he was batting at 42; Abhishek Sharma trapped Sanju Samson, and RR almost lost hopes when Riyan Parag got out on 6. Spinners did the magic for SRH; Dhruv Jurel fought hard and scored his fifty, but in vain, as SRH won the match by 36 runs to play the finals of the IPL 2024 against KKR.

IPL 2024 Qualifier 2 RR vs SRH: Captains’ Corner
You’ve seen that in the way we played. The finals was the goal and we’ve made it. (Finding another way to win tonight) We knew our strength was batting but we wouldn’t underestimate the experience in the side like Nattu, Unadkat and Bhuvi. (Shahbaz as the Impact Sub choice) That was Vettori’s choice, he likes his left-arm spinners. (Using Sharma’s four overs) I felt there was a bit of a grip. (Total felt enough at the break?) Finals are always funny. These turn into tough chases. Needed early wickets and we got that. (Seeing how dew works in India) I won’t ever pretend to work out how it works. (Final) For the whole franchise, there are 60-70 of us who are involved, it is really gratifying. Hopefully one more.”
Pat Cummins said post-match
“Proud of our bowlers, but we were short in the middle overs. (No dew) Very hard to guess when we are expecting dew. Wicket behaved differently in the second innings, ball was turning. Their use of spin against our right-handed batsmen was good. (Lack of intent with the bat?) Left-arm spin vs right-handers in the middle-order…. when the ball was turning, we could’ve used sweep or used our feet, but they bowled well. We’ve had some brilliant games, we’ve had a great project as a franchise, we’ve produced some great talent for the country. Parag, Jurel, exciting not only for RR but for India team too. (Sandeep Sharma’s season) I’m very happy for him. By not being picked from the auction and coming as a replacement, he has done awesome. He will be the next guy after Bumrah if you see his numbers, economy and so all. (IPL 2024 final) I think this condition suits both the finalists. SRH batsmen are very interesting, they can take the game away. KKR’s confidence makes them look very exciting. Great final expected that’s what IPL has been giving us last 15-16 years.”
