CSK vs SRH Team Previews

Chennai Super Kings

The Chennai Super Kings have been inconsistent in their performance this season, losing half of the 12 matches played so far. They are currently placed 6th on the points table and must win this match to keep their qualification hopes alive.

Chennai comes to this contest on the back of a massive defeat against the Lucknow Super Giants on Friday, which left a dent in its NRR. Barring Sanju Samson, Chennai’s batting hasn’t been consistent. While Ruturaj Gaikwad and Kartik Sharma have played a couple of decent knocks, they have been few and far between.

The others, including Dewald Brevis, Shivam Dube, and Prashant Veer, have failed to convert their starts into big knocks, and that has been a key reason for the team’s inconsistent performance.

Coming to the bowling, with Jamie Overton ruled out of the tournament, the team’s pace attack does look a bit weak. They have included Spencer Johnson as a replacement, but it remains to be seen how he performs.

Anshul Kamboj remains the leading wicket-taker for the Chennai Super Kings and will be supported by Mukesh Choudhary. Noor Ahmad continues to lead the spin department.

Chennai Super Kings Expected Playing 11

Sanju Samson (WK), Ruturaj Gaikwad (C), Urvil Patel, Kartik Sharma, Dewald Brevis, Shivam Dube, Prashant Veer, Anshul Kamboj, Noor Ahmad, Mukesh Choudhary, Spencer Johnson

Impact Player: Gurjapneet Singh / Matthew Short

Sunrisers Hyderabad

The Sunrisers Hyderabad have won seven of the twelve matches played so far, and are placed third on the points table. However, with Punjab and Rajasthan close on its heels, the team needs to win here to create some separation.

The Sunrisers Hyderabad’s batting line-up suffered a rare failure on Tuesday as the team was dismissed for only 86 runs against the Gujarat Titans. It was their lowest total in IPL history. Nevertheless, they have had a week to sort things out and will look to put up a better performance here.

Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma will continue to open the batting and will hope to give the team a strong start. Heinrich Klaasen remains the leading run-scorer of the tournament and will play an important role in the middle order as he joins Ishan Kishan.

The others in the batting line-up include Nitish Reddy, Smaran Ravichandran, and Salil Arora. However, they have been inconsistent with the bat. Coming to the bowling, the Sunrisers boast of a strong pace attack consisting of Pat Cummins, Sakib Hussain, Praful Hinge, and Eshan Malinga.

Malinga is the team’s leading wicket-taker with 16 wickets. The spin department will be led by Shivang Kumar.

Abhishek Sharma, Travis Head, Ishan Kishan (WK), Heinrich Klaasen, Salil Arora, Nitish Reddy, Pat Cummins (C), Smaran Ravichandran, Shivang Kumar, Eshan Malinga, Praful Hinge

CSK vs SRH Toss Prediction

In eight of the last ten matches played here, the team winning the toss opted to field first. We expect that trend to continue.

Pitch Report and Weather Conditions

The pitch at the MA Chidambaram Stadium is likely to be balanced, and we expect a good contest between bat and ball. The average first-inning score here this season is around 165. However, the team batting first will look to score around 185-190 runs to give the bowlers something to work with.

The ball comes nicely onto the bat, especially when the quicker bowlers are bowling, and the batsmen will look to make the most out of the Powerplay. However, as the ball gets older, it is likely to slow down.

It is expected to get rain through the weekend, and with rain forecast for Monday, there may be some interruptions.

CSK vs SRH : Who Will Win?

Despite being the underdog, we think CSK is the team to back in this contest. They have a slightly different bowling attack, now with the loss of Overton, but they are playing at home and still have enough quality to get the better of SRH. If they get get Abhishek Sharma and Travis Head early, the game could turn their way.

We think it is worth betting on the underdog on this occasion, especially as it gives us more flexibility with in-play betting.

Bet on Chennai Super Kings to win.
