RR vs SRH IPL Dream11 Team Prediction 22 Crores Grand League Mega Contest, 22 October

RR vs SRH Dream11 Prediction: Rajasthan Royals and Sunrisers Hyderabad find themselves languishing at the bottom half of the points table right at the business end of the tournament. Rajasthan Royals have 8 points from 10 games, while Sunrisers Hyderabad have 6 points from 9 games and both teams can’t afford a loss here which would make them dependent on other teams matches. R Parag and R Tewatia pulled off a heist against SRH, the last time these two teams faced each other and they would once again be the favourites going into this contest.
Rajasthan Royals team has never given a settled look this tournament with frequent changes in their batting order and their struggles in identifying a bowler for the fifth bowling spot. Their top-order hasn’t really fired in unison with Samson enduring bad form and the likes of Smith, Uthappa and Stokes performing in patches. Buttler after being moved down to the middle order to provide stability scored a match-winning 70 against CSK. They’re unlikely to change a winning combination after the win against Chennai Super Kings.
Sunrisers Hyderabad have ended up on the wrong side of some close games with them losing their last game against KKR through a super over. The bowling unit apart from Natarajan and Rashid Khan lack variety, while their batting have been largely reliant on their opening pair and to an extent K Williamson. K Williamson endured a hamstring injury in their last game and will most likely miss this game with J Holder being the front-runner to replace him. There’s also a case for them to drop B Thampi but the replacements have also performed badly.

Pitch Report

The pitch used for the match between KXIP and DC will be used for this game and it should play slow. Spinners and hit-the-deck pacers have been successful in Dubai. Dew is expected to make its presence.

RR vs SRH Dream11 Prediction

RR vs SRH Dream11 Playing 11 –
RR Playing 11 (probable)
B Stokes
R Uthappa
S Samson
S Smith (C)
J Buttler (WK)
R Parag
R Tewatia
J Archer
S Gopal
A Rajpoot
K Tyagi

B Stokes – B Stokes has been promoted up to the opening spot by the RR team management which suits his batting style and also negates the threat of R Khan in this match. He has been getting some starts and would look to convert it into a big one in RR vs SRH Dream11 Prediction game.

J Archer – K Williamson was the one batsman in SRH lineup who could’ve countered J Archer but he’s most likely to be out for this game with a hamstring injury which makes Archer’s life much more easier.

J Buttler – He returned back to form with a match-winning 70 against CSK and looks in ominous touch. He has great numbers against all SRH bowlers except Rashid Khan who has dismissed him 4 times in just 10 balls.

S Smith – His form has been patchy so far this tournament with 246 runs from 10 games at an average of 27.33. With RR’s top-order being unstable, he has been forced to play the role of a sheet anchor which suits his batting style perfectly.

SRH Playing 11 (probable) –
D Warner (C)
J Bairstow
M Pandey
J Holder
P Garg
V Shankar
A Samad
R Khan
S Sharma
B Thampi
T Natarajan

D Warner – He dropped down to the middle-order against KKR last game but it seems to be a one-off move with him expected to return back to his opening spot. The only bowler who could trouble Warner in the RR side is Archer who has got the best off him 9 times across all formats.

J Bairstow – The right-handed wicket-keeper batsman has scored 316 runs from 9 matches at an average of 35.11 this season and similar to Warner he will be troubled by the pace and bounce of Archer and his fortunes will be determined by how he handles the fellow English pacer.

R Khan – Warner mostly uses Rashid Khan in the middle-overs and this provides him with a great opportunity to test the likes of Buttler, Samson and Smith. Tewatia got the better off him in the last game between both sides but it remains to be seen whether he can repeat it again in RR vs SRH Dream11 Today Match Prediction.

T Natarajan – The TamilNadu left-arm pacer has been a revelation for SRH this season with his accurate yorkers and death bowling. He’s the highest wicket-taker for SRH this season along with Rashid Khan picking up 11 wickets from 9 matches.

RR vs SRH Dream11 Team Captain, Differential Picks

Team Composition Preferences –

1). All Rounders – There’s a lot of differential picks available in this category, try and use it to your advantage.
2). Batsman – Pick a mixture of top-order batsmen and some quality middle-order bats.
3). Bowlers – Go for spinners and hit-the-deck pacers from this category.
4). Wicket-Keeper – Three quality options in here with Bairstow, Buttler and Samson. Going with all the three won’t be a bad option either.

Having more RR players in the RR vs SRH Dream11 Match Prediction team is preferable.

Captaincy Picks –

Choose one of the top-order batsmen from both teams as your captain or make one of those utility all-rounders as the captain. If you want to go out of the box, choose either one of Archer or Rashid Khan as your captain.

Differential Picks –

P Garg – With Williamson out due to an injury, he’s likely to be promoted to the No.4 spot which provides him enough game-time to score some valuable runs.

R Parag – There’s a high chance for this Rajasthan Royals top-order to collapse especially with the presence of Rashid Khan which gives the chance for the young R Parag to shine with the bat.
