IPL 2024 semifinal: Start time, how to watch Rajasthan Royals vs. Sunrisers Hyderabad in the US

After almost two months of nonstop cricket, the 17th edition of the Indian Premier League is heading towards its conclusion. However, before a winning team can lift the trophy and take home a couple of million dollars, there is the qualifier match between the Rajasthan Royals and Sunrisers Hyderabad, scheduled to take place on Friday, two days before the grand finale on Sunday.

Friday's winning team will then face the Kolkata Knight Riders, currently dominating the points table, on Sunday. Both, the Rajasthan Royals (RR) and Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) are at 17 points in the IPL table. While SRH lost their last match against Kolkata Knight Riders on Tuesday, the Rajasthan Royals beat Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the eliminator round Wednesday to make it to the semi-final stage.
