Chennai Super Kings (CSK), the defending IPL champions, will look to bounce back after a recent defeat when they take on Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) on Friday. With two wins and one loss so far, the five-time IPL winners have arrived in Hyderabad for the 18th match of IPL 2024. After MS Dhoni’s heroics in their previous fixture, CSK will be eager to upstage SRH in what promises to be a high-scoring encounter at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium.
The venue in Hyderabad is expected to produce a big-scoring match. However, the black soil pitch indicates that hitting through the line may not be an easy task for the batters.
Chennai have been the overwhelming favorites in the CSK vs SRH matchup in the IPL. CSK have won 14 out of the 19 games played between the two teams, resulting in a win percentage of 73.68% against SRH. However, the defending champions will be without their in-form bowler, Mustafizur Rahman, who is CSK’s leading wicket-taker in IPL 2024 with 7 scalps. For CSK, Shivam Dube has been the top scorer with 103 runs in three games, while SRH captain Pat Cummins has taken the most wickets (4) for the hosts this season.
The weather in Hyderabad during the match is expected to be hot, with temperatures ranging from 37-35 degrees Celsius. There is no chance of rain, and the humidity level will be around 23%.
