Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Rajasthan Royals live stream: How to watch IPL 2024 playoffs today, SRH need 176

The Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Rajasthan Royals live stream is the second qualifier match at the IPL 2024.  RR won the toss and put their opponents in to bat. They now need 176 to win the game.

Luckily, IPL 2024 live streams are free in India and you can watch them while abroad by using a VPN while you're away from home. We'll show you how.

Despite losing a wicket in the first over, and some skilful bowling from Trent Boult and Ravichandran Ashwin, SRH got off to a fast start. At one point they had a run rate of over 11. However, RR struck back and managed to hold their opponents to just 175, a gettable target in today's hard-hitting T20 landscape. Boult ended with three wickets, as did Avesh Khan.

So now it's over to the RR batters. Openers Yashasvi Jaiswal and Tom Kohler-Cadmore will be looking to make good progress towards their target. They will be backed up by skipper Sanju Samson, who already has 521 runs to his name in this year's tournament.

It was dramatic when these teams met earlier in this year's Indian Premier League. On that occasion,  SRH won by just one run with the last ball of the match. We could well be treated to another exciting finish.
