By Pranob Thachanthara

Hello and Welcome to our preview for Chennai Super Kings vs Sunrisers Hyderabad match. We are covering CSK vs SRH Dream11 Team Prediction, Preview and Probable Playing XI for the T20 match. The match is to be played at MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai.

Table-toppers Chennai Super Kings are performing exceedingly well and are ruling the points table with seven wins in ten matches. However, They lost their last two matches and will be determined to get back into winning ways. Bowling first, Deepak Chahar, Jadeja and Bravo took two scalps each to restrict RCB at 161. Chasing the target, CSK suffered another top-order collapse but a MS Dhoni special took them close to victory but were left behind by a single run. MSD scored classic knock of 84* runs in 48 balls in losing cause for his team. CSK will hope to continue their good record at Chepauk and take revenge from Hyderabad for their previous loss a few days back.

Sunrisers Hyderabad is fourth on the points table with five wins and four losses. They won their last match against KKR comprehensively by 9 wickets. Bowling first, Khaleel Ahmed continued his lethal form taking three-wicket haul and was supported by Bhuvi and Rashid to restrict KKR at 159. Chasing the target, In-form openers Bairstow and Warner played match-winning knocks of 80* and 67 respectively to easily chase the target in 15 overs. Sunrisers Hyderabad will hope to continue the winning momentum and register another victory defeating CSK.

A good match can be expected between both teams.
