This IPL matchup between Sunrisers Hyderabad and Chennai Super Kings seemed to be a massive mismatch at first. In the past, CSK has utterly destroyed SRH, taking 15 of the 20 meetings to win. From a cricket standpoint, that’s complete dominance.
However, SRH is committed to improving that dismal performance. They have a young, talented set of players, and it’s entertaining to see as they play a lot more aggressive style of cricket. Although they haven’t yet won by landslide, it has helped them reach the biggest total of any IPL squad.-277/5 in opposition to MI.
Conversely, CSK, which was undergoing a reorganization under a new captain, managed to hold its own twice at Chepauk but lost unexpectedly to the Delhi Capitals. There is still plenty to be done in the competition, but this match between SRH and CSK won’t feature the same old CSK-dominating SRH kinds. That’s for certain.
A few key players for Sunrisers Hyderabad, like Head, Abhishek, and Klaasen, have intimidated opponents with their potent batting. Their very presence in the middle of the field spooks the opponent bowlers, allowing the other players on the team to play with confidence. The lynchpin, Klaasen, has struck out more sixes than fours and scored 167 runs in 3 innings with a maximum score of 80. He is scoring his runs at a furious 220 and has demonstrated how quickly he has settled into the game.
Travis Head (81 runs from 2 games) and Abhishek Sharma (124 runs from 3 innings) are striking at least 200 and averaging over 40 with the bat. Replying to a ground where they set a record for the most runs scored by a team in an inning, SRH will rely on their batsmen to put them in a commanding position from which they can dictate terms to CSK.
However, SRH appears a touch exposed when it comes to bowling. Except for Pat Cummins, who has bowled 12 overs for 95 runs and claimed 4 wickets, no other bowler has shown promise. Despite only taking two wickets in three games, Markande’s bowling performance has been far improved. They need to bowl considerably more cohesively if they hope to stop CSK’s attack.

Chennai Super Kings started their IPL campaign at home, winning both of their dramatic opening game matches against GT and RCB. They made some smart tactical alterations to the team, such as stacking their bowling group full of pacers and assigning only Ravindra Jadeja to be the lone spinner, to adjust to the changing conditions available at the Chepauk stadium.
Their heartbreaking defeat to DC in Vizag served as a wake-up call for them. And they’ll be trying to improve on their performance against a team they’ve dominated the entire time in a crucial road game. In their match against DC, Ruturaj Gaikwad and Rachin Ravindra will be looking to bounce back from a poor start and find their rhythm. Shivam Dube (bat), Deepak Chahar (bowl), and Mustafizur Rahman (ball) were not able to have the same impact as they did in the previous games against the Capitals.
However, the others, particularly MS Dhoni and Ajinkya Rahane, would have been satisfied with their efforts despite the loss. Likewise, Tushar Deshpande and Matheesha Pathirana will enter this game with their tails up after bowling disciplinedly and with control against DC to hold them under 200.

Both sides, but especially SRH, will be vying to win the toss and get to bat first. Considering the havoc Head, Abhishek, and Klaasen inflicted when batting first against MI, SRH will be looking to take advantage of the favorable circumstances by going to bat first.
There is no chance of rain during the match according to the clear weather prediction. Batsmen have an advantage due to the pitch and the surrounding conditions, which let them play with greater freedom. And for good reason—it has been one of the IPL’s highest-scoring venues.
In the last five matches between these two teams, SRH won one game whereas CSK won four games.
