In a challenging "Slow Track Test", Rajasthan Royals' promising young players faced a tough trial as Sunrisers Hyderabad's underestimated spin duo of Abhishek Sharma and Shahbaz Ahmed spun a web, paving the way for a 36-run victory in Qualifier 2. This win earns them a spot in the IPL final against Kolkata Knight Riders, set to take place here on Sunday. Attempting to chase down a target of 176, the Royals found themselves limited to 139 for 7, securing SRH's third IPL final appearance after 2016 and 2018.
