Sunrisers Hyderabad registered only the second win of IPL 2021 with a 7-wicket victory against Rajasthan Royals in Dubai. Catch highlights here
Published: 27 Sep 2021, Updated: 27 Sep 2021 11:39 pm
Fifty for the skipper, and second win for SRH in IPL 2021. They chase down RR's 164/5 with relative ease. Kane Williamson (51 not out off 41) hits Mustafizur Rahman for back-to-back fours to complete the rites.
This sure amounts to spoiling the Royals party. Sunrisers Hyderabad produced a clinical chase with Jason Roy (60 off 42) and skipper playing contrasting but equally effective knocks. A second win in ten matches will not be enough to revive their fortunes but a win is a win, nonetheless. Sadly for Rajasthan, skipper Sanju Samson (82 off 57) was waging a lone battle.
Rajasthan Royals had the chance to escape the mid-table rut, but the defeat left them with eight points. There are four teams with eight points each after the end of round 10 -- Kolkata Knight Riders, Punjab Kings, Rajasthan Royals and Mumbai Indians. Chennai Super Kings and Delhi Capitals have 16 each, while Royal Challengers Bangaloreare third with 12.
It will be one final stretch in UAE. Check updated standings HERE.

Rahul Tewatia and Mahipal Lomror bowling in tandem. Two overs each for 24 runs combined. Jason Roy, meanwhile, is approaching his fifty. On 40 off 32. His second-wicket stand with Kane Williamson is now worth 24 in 24. SRH - 81/1 (9).

Nothing is going right for Sunrisers Hyderabad in the UAE leg of the Indian Premier League 2021. Kane Williamson's team has not been able to find the winning formula and with just one win from nine matches, are technically out of the competition. Former SRH skipper David Warner has been in horror form in IPL 2021. His average of 24.4 is his second-worst in IPL. In 2009, the year he started playing IPL, Warner had averaged 23.3. With SRH's Indian talents like Manish Pandey and Bhuvneshwar Kumar failing, Williamson is surely missing Jonny Bairstow.

Rajasthan Royals are not doing well either. Sanju Samson has been the lone warrior with the bat and no top-order batsmen have provided support to the young RR captain. Chris Morris is yet to show the spark and although RR's young bowlers like Kartik Tyagi have done well in the absence of Jofra Archer, the Royals are yet to play a perfect team game in the second half of the tournament. Yet, RR have a chance to make the playoffs.
They are one of the four teams on eight points (from nine matches) and a win today will take RR to 10 and in the fourth position behind Royal Challengers Bangalore (12 from 10 games). Follow live cricket scores of SRH vs RR here.
