Live Cricket Score of Rajasthan Royals vs Sunrisers Hyderabad, 41st Match, IPL 2015

Dhawan threw away his wicket in the 15th over, giving Faulkner his first scalp. The left-hander tried to play a reverse paddle, but the ball came on to him quickly and he ended up being bowled on 54. Faulkner could have taken another wicket in the same over, had Samson not put down a tough chance. Morgan then took the attack to Tambe in the 16th over. He hoicked one over deep mid-wicket for a six followed by a four to deep extra-cover and ended the over with a power hit over the long-off boundary to take SRH to 151/1 after 16 overs.

Two play-off spots are potentially up for grabs and five teams are vying for it in IPL 2015. Sunrisers Hyderabad are currently in the tail-end of the mid-table scramble. One slip-up and their chances could take a big dent. Rajasthan Royals, on the other hand, are in a comfortable position and they will be buoyed by the fact that they have finally got back to winning ways. The win over Delhi Daredevils has boosted their campaign after a middle period during which they failed to win. The main aim for Rajasthan Royals will be to sustain their consistency and ensure they finish in the top two.

Rajasthan Royals skipper Shane Watson won the toss and decided to bowl first. There were two changes in the RR eleven - Chris Morris replaced Tim Southee while Pravin Tambe came in for Rajat Bhatia. For Sunrisers Hyderabad, Ishant Sharma replaced Bipul Sharma while Ravi Bopara was included in place of Dale Steyn.

Sunrisers Hyderabad (Playing XI): David Warner(c), Shikhar Dhawan, Naman Ojha(w), Moises Henriques, Eoin Morgan, Ravi Bopara, Hanuma Vihari, Karn Sharma, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Praveen Kumar, Ishant Sharma

Rajasthan Royals (Playing XI): Ajinkya Rahane, Shane Watson(c), Karun Nair, Steven Smith, Sanju Samson(w), Deepak Hooda, James Faulkner, Stuart Binny, Dhawal Kulkarni, Chris Morris, Pravin Tambe

The sight of Steven Smith misfielding is a rare one, but he allowed one to slip through his hands at long-off to give Bopara a boundary in the 19th over. Naman Ojha also managed a four and this time it was Tambe who misfielded. Morris gave away only six runs in the final over, but SRH managed to finish with a sizeable total as they ended up with 201/4.
