Preview:
The new-look Hyderabad team with start the second phase of their journey in the Indian T20 League 2021 today, with Kane Williamson now leading from the front. They have had a poor start, winning 1 of their last 6 games. The task will hence be cut out for the Kiwi batsman.
Their opponents, Rajasthan have not been up to the mark either. While they have had to deal with a lot of off-the-field troubles, their performances on the field have been poor as well. The chances of playoffs qualification for both teams are very slim and they will need to win a few games on the trot here to change the narrative.
