Kane Williamson-led Hyderabad lock horns with Rajasthan in match five of the Indian T20 League 2022. With just three wins in 14 games, Hyderabad finished bottom of the points table last season. Rajasthan, too, endured a disappointing campaign as they finished seventh in the table with ten points.
We look at some of the key First Games fantasy cricket Match-ups in the Hyderabad-Rajasthan match.
J Buttler vs S Samson
The Jos Buttler-Sanju Samson clash is one of the most exciting Match-Ups on Tuesday. Buttler was England's top run-scorer in the 2021 20-over WC, while Samson has scored the most runs for Rajasthan in the last two seasons. This Match-Up is likely to go down to the wire.
Did You Know? S Samson scored a century - 119 vs Punjab - in Rajasthan's opening game in the 2021 season.
R Ashwin vs W Sundar
In a clash of spinners, Ravichandran Ashwin squares off against Washington Sundar. Ashwin, on the cusp of 150 Indian T20 League wickets, faces a big challenge from the 22-year-old, who grabbed a three-wicket haul against West Indies recently. Sundar is likely to pick up more fantasy points than Ashwin in match five.
S Hetmyer vs N Pooran
Nicholas Pooran holds the advantage over Shimron Hetmyer in the all-West Indies Match-Up. The dashing batter struck a hat-trick of half-centuries in the T20I series against India. On the other hand, Hetmyer hasn't played T20 cricket since November 2021.
Y Chahal vs B Kumar
Yuzvendra Chahal and Bhuvneshwar Kumar will be keen for consistency this season. Both bowlers had a good outing in the white-ball series against West Indies and Sri Lanka. Chahal is expected to win the battle against Bhuvneshwar on a spinner-friendly track at MCA Stadium.
Did You Know? Y Chahal averaged 51 fantasy points per match in the second phase of the Indian T20 League 2021.
