Sunrisers Hyderabad will lock horns against defending champions Chennai Super Kings at the Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium, Hyderabad on Friday. SRH lost their previous match against Gujarat Titans by seven wickets and they will look to get back to winning ways.
Similarly, CSK were also stunned by Delhi Capitals in the last game and they will look to bounce back. The reigning champions will be without the services of Mustafizur Rahman, who has gone back to Bangladesh for visa process for the T20 World Cup.
Meanwhile, SRH had posted 277 runs on the board against Mumbai Indians at their home ground and they will look to come up with a collective batting effort.
The Orange Army could only manage 162 in their last game and they will be determined to come up with a better show.
On the other hand, CSK were outplayed by DC as the Ruturaj Gaikwad-led team could not deliver with the bat. Their top-order had failed to get going and they will aim to come up with a better show.
Furthermore, Matheesha Pathirana was sensational as he nailed his yorkers whereas MS Dhoni had added the finishing touches with 16-ball 37. With Dhoni showing he has still got it in him, it would be interesting to note if he gets a batting promotion.
Match Prediction: Chennai Super Kings will enter the contest as favorites against Sunrisers Hyderabad.
