Jaipur, April 27: Rajasthan Royals beat Sunrisers Hyderabad by 7 wickets in an IPL 2019 match here on Saturday (April 27). Manish Pandey made a fifty to power Hyderabad to 160 for 8 but Royals overhauled it with fine cameos by Liam Livingstone and Sanju Samson.
Both Rajasthan Royals and Sunrisers Hyderabad will begin life without their key overseas players when they face-off in the Indian Premier League (IPL) tie at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium on Saturday (April 27).
At this stage, Royals are more affected than Sunrisers with the absence of Ben Stokes, Jos Buttler and Joffra Archer, who have left for England to join the World Cup camp.
Sunrisers will surely miss the services of their destructive opener and Englishman Jonny Bairstow, who formed the most potent opening pairing alongside David Warner. Which of these wounded teams will emerge winner tonight? The MyKhel Live Update.
The result also meant that Chennai have reached the Play-off, the first team to do so in IPL 2019. They have now played all the knockouts dating back to 2008.
