Winning the toss might mean choosing to bowl first. In recent matches at this venue, teams chasing have won 5 out of 7 times. Historically, Hyderabad and Rajasthan have faced off 19 times, with Hyderabad winning 10 and Rajasthan 9.
Here’s the kicker: there’s no reserve day for this Qualifier 2 match.
- If rain disrupts play, the umpire has 120 minutes to try and get a 5-5 over match.
- If even that isn’t possible, they’ll go to a Super Over.
- If the Super Over can’t be played due to rain, the team with the higher points in the league table will go to the final.
- This means Hyderabad will make it to the final because they finished second in the league, while Rajasthan finished third.
So, fans can breathe easy, keep their fingers crossed for clear skies, and get ready for an exciting showdown!
