The 52nd match of the Indian Premier League 2023 is scheduled to play between Rajasthan Royals and Sunrisers Hyderabad on Sunday 7th May 2023 at Sawai Mansingh Stadium, Jaipur.

Rajasthan Royals had a superb start to this edition of IPL and were just outstanding in the opening five matches where they won four matches but their performance in the most recent five matches had not been much impressive where they won just one out of five matches. Now they had played a total of ten matches with five wins and the same losses. They are currently in the top four teams but have to win almost all remaining matches. They are holding the fourth position on the points table and now are going to host the worst-performing team of this tournament, Sunrisers Hyderabad in this match. Sunrisers Hyderabad had totally failed to give the best performance in this tournament. They had won just three out of nine matches played. They had lost six matches and are laying at the bottom of the points table. Rajasthan Royals had already beaten Sunrisers Hyderabad with a big margin of 72 runs.

We had mentioned earlier that the performance of Rajasthan Royals had been very poor in the previous five matches and they had won just one match against Chennai Super Kings but had lost four matches against Lucknow Super Giants, Royal Challengers Bangalore, and Mumbai Indians and their most recent lose came against Gujarat Titans. They are in the top four teams but now have to win at least three out of four matches to cement their place in the top four. The batsmen of Rajasthan Royals performed well on fast pitches but had failed to give the best performance on slow pitches in the previous two matches. The pitch at the venue where this match is going to be held is also slow where the batting order of this team will be tested. Jos Buttler and Yashasvi Jaiswal are the two leading batsmen of this team and both batsmen also performed well in this tournament. Sanju Samson is leading the middle batting order of this team with Dhruv Jurel, Shimron Hetmeyer, and Devdutt Padikkal. These all batsmen are experienced and they also proved this in this tournament earlier. Remember that Rajasthan Royals is the team that had been outstanding while batting in powerplay overs and they had hit more sixes than any other team in this tournament during the first six overs.

Some world-class spin bowlers are also part of the squad of this team like Ravichandran Ashwin and Yuzvendra Chahal and they also have best seam bowlers like Sandeep Sharma and Trent Boult. They lost their most recent match against Royal Challengers Bangalore by the margin of just seven runs where they won the toss and decided to field first. The performance of their bowling unit was average and they leaked 189 runs in 20 overs. Trent Boult and Sandeep Sharma picked wickets but also leaked plenty of runs. Sandeep Sharma picked up two wickets while he was charged for 49 runs in four overs. Trent Boult also picked up two wickets against 41 runs in two overs. Ravichandran Ashwin picked one wicket in four overs while he was charged for 36 runs. Yuzvendra Chahal also performed well and picked one wicket in four overs against 28 runs. Jason Holder was the only bowler who failed to pick any wicket from their side. The batting order of Rajasthan Royals performed well but failed to chase the target of 190 runs and scored 182 runs in 20 overs. Devdutt Padikkal proved the most successful and highest run-scorer from their side with 52 runs to his name on 34 balls with the help of seven boundaries and one huge six. Yashasvi Jaiswal also had an outstanding performance with the bat. He scored 47 runs while he faced 37 balls and smashed five boundaries and two huge sixes. Dhruv Jurel was the other batsman who did a good job and remained not out after scoring 34 runs. He faced just 16 balls and smashed two boundaries and the same huge sixes during his inning. Sanju Samson could manage to score 22 runs while Jose Buttler failed to open the account on the scoreboard.

Sunrisers Hyderabad had disappointed its fans around the world in this edition of IPL. The most recent match of this team was very interesting against Kolkata Knight Riders where they lost by the margin of five runs. The batting order of this team is not weak at least on paper. Harry Brook and Abhishek Sharma are leading the batting order of this team with Rahul Tripathi, Aiden Markram, Heinrich Klaasen, Mayank Agarwal, and Marco Jansen but no batsmen from their side could manage to enter into the double figure. Abhishek Sharma was the most successful and highest run-scorer from their side with 34 runs to his name on 26 balls with the help of three boundaries and one huge six. Rahul Tripathi was the other batsman who put some runs on the board. He scored 21 runs while he faced the same balls and smashed one boundary and the same huge six. Harry Brook is the leading batsman of this team and was also good in some previous matches but he failed to put some big runs on the board in the most recent match where he could manage to score just 18 runs on 13 balls and smashed three boundaries during his inning. Heinrich Klaasen and Marco Jansen scored 17 runs each while the skipper, Aiden Markram could manage to score just 12 runs.

Sunrisers Hyderabad has some best batsmen in their bench strength and we are hoping that they will give a chance to at least a couple of batters from Glenn Phillips, Abdul Samad, Akeal Hosein, and Kartik Tyagi, and Anmolpreet Singh. The bowling unit of Sunrisers Hyderabad is also strong and but they had not been much impressive in this tournament. Bhuvneshwar Kumar is an experienced bowler who had represented team India for a decade and he had also played a lot of matches but this team but he totally failed to give the best performance in this tournament. Marco Jansen, Aiden Markram, Washington Sundar, Mayank Markande, Umran Malik, and Mayank Dagar are also available in the squad of this team but these all bowlers had not been very impressive. Many of us were expecting Umran Malik plays a leading role in the bowling unit of this team. He is a speed start and he recently joined team India where he proved his selection right but he is not shining in this edition of the Indian Premier League. Washington Sundar is another main bowler of this team who had not been good. Mayank Markande had been good in the domestic circle but he had totally failed to give the best performance in this big event of cricket he was the only bowler from their side who had some wickets to his name in the previous match. Mayank Markande picked two wickets in four overs while he was charged with 23 runs. No other bowler from their side could manage to pick any wicket. Sunrisers Hyderabad has to win almost all remaining matches with a good margin to have some chances to reach in top four teams.

The toss is going to play an important in the result of each and every match of IPL 2023 as we had observed in the previous editions of this tournament. According to the toss prediction, the team who will win the toss will elect to field first as defending had been difficult in the most recent matches of IPL.

The 52nd match of IPL T20, 2023 is going to be held at Sawai Mansingh Stadium, Jaipur. The Sawai Mansingh Stadium pitch is known for being a good batting surface, offering good bounce and carry. The ball comes on nicely to the bat, and the batsmen can play their shots freely. However, the pitch tends to slow down as the game progresses, making it more difficult for the batsmen to score runs quickly. In terms of bowling, the pitch usually provides some assistance to both pace and spin bowlers. The fast bowlers can extract some bounce and movement early on, while the spinners can get some turn and grip as the game progresses.

The weather forecast for Jaipur is good for this cricket match. There are some chances of rain but we are expecting a full match. In Jaipur, May is usually one of the hottest months of the year. The average high temperature during the day is around 40-42°C (104-108°F), while the average low temperature at night is around 25-27°C (77-81°F).
