Boult’s spell in knockout is always worthy.
Trent Boult is proven an asset for the team, getting wickets in the first over of the spell the most than any other bowler in the tournament. Boult’s first over besides being expensive of 13 runs got an early wicket of SRH opener Abhishek Sharma who smashed 2 boundaries before getting out.
Samson decided to bring in the spinners early after wicket-taking but expensive first over, understanding the importance of the match.
Sanju Samson gave 3 overs to Trent Boult in the powerplay as a result of which Rahul Tripathi and Aiden Markram lost their wicket in the 5th over of the inning. Tripathi besides giving momentum to the scoreboard lost his wicket by playing an unnecessary short and giving an easy catch to Yuzvendra Chahal at third man, being tricked by a slower one.
Royals’ pace attack gives an upper hand.
The IPL 2024 playoffs qualifier 2 match is an equal win probability. As per the stats, the pitch seems not to be as helpful for the spinners as the spinners being world-class players like R. Ashwin and Y. Chahal were unable to get any wickets with expensive spells.

The excellent spell of Avesh Khan cannot be ignored who took wickets of the powerhitters of SRH in IPL 2024 Playoffs of Abdul Samad and Nitish Reddy in the 14th over. The 50 runs inning of Henrich Klassen is the major run contribution in the batting lineup of Sunrisers.
The target of 176 runs for getting into the Final of the IPl 2024 Playoffs
The innings of SRH was completed at 175 runs at 9 wickets which is a respectful score to be defended.RR batters need to chase the target with a run rate of 8.8, which the bowling attack of SRH that includes the captain Patt Cummins, T Natarajan, Jaydev Unadkat, and Bhuvaneshwar Kumar as pacers would not let them chase down the score of 176 runs easily in the must-win game of IPL 2024 Playoffs. The match is equally important for both teams. The game will be an absolute thriller for the cricket fans.
