Notwithstanding their loss in the last match, the Sunrisers have been impressing everyone with their aggressive game. It remains to be seen if the turning wickets of Chepauk will put a check on their game. Nevertheless, this is the Super Kings’ fortress, and I am expecting them to win.

Chennai Super Kings have won 5 of their last 7 matches against Hyderabad (IPL)
Chennai Super Kings have won 3 of their last 4 matches at this venue (IPL)

Head to Head

Chennai has played Hyderabad in 21 matches so far, winning 15 and losing six. They last played in the first week of April in Hyderabad, when the Sunrisers won by six wickets with 11 balls to spare. The openers scored sparkling 30s, and Aiden Markram carried the chase with a fifty.

Chennai Super Kings Form

Chennai Super Kings were fifth in the standings before this weekend's matches started, with eight points from eight matches. They lost their last two matches, both to the Lucknow Super Giants.

The latest of those losses came here, when Chennai lost by six wickets. Ruturaj Gaikwad’s century led the Super Kings to 201 for 4, but Marcus Stoinis trumped Chennai with a superlative knock of 124 not out.

Gaikwad (349) and Shivam Dube (311) have been the best batters for Chennai, who were led with the ball by Pathirana (11) and Mustafizur (12).

Chennai Super Kings Team News

Chennai played Daryl Mitchell in their last match but could revert to using Rachin Ravindra here. Maheesh Theekshana may fancy a game in place of Mustafizur Rahman.

Sunrisers Hyderabad Form

The Sunrisers Hyderabad were third at the start of this weekend, with ten points from eight matches. They lost their last match to the Royal Challengers Bengaluru by 35 runs.

Bengaluru scored 206 for 7 batting first, which proved to be slightly out of Hyderabad’s reach as they ended with 171 for 8. That was achieved only due to some late-order hitting from Shahbaz Ahmed and Pat Cummins.

Hyderabad are well served by the aggression of Travis Head (325) and Abhishek Sharma (288) at the top of the batting order. With the ball, T. Natarajan (12 wickets) is fast getting into his groove.

Sunrisers Hyderabad Team News

Jaydev Unadkat played in place of Washington Sundar in their last match, and the Sunrisers could look at getting the local lad in for this match.
