CSK Team News & Playing 11
Team News
Lungi Ngidi has returned home due to his father's sudden demise and is unlikely to join the CSK camp any time soon. The South African pace bowler was replaced by England batsman Sam Billings in the last game against the Rajasthan Royals. Chennai Super Kings also dropped batsman Dhruv Shorey in favor of leg-spinner Karn Sharma. The team is expected to go in with an unchanged line-up despite facing defeat in their last match.
Key Players
Their top four - Shane Watson, Ambati Rayudu, Suresh Raina and skipper MS Dhoni - form the pillars of CSK's batting. Raina scored a brisk 52 in the last game against Rajasthan Royals and even hit a fifty in the earlier encounter against the Sunrisers Hyderabad. Rayudu had cracked a 37-ball 79 in that reverse fixture and he is also among the season's leading run-getters. Dhoni has good knocks in his last four matches while Watson too has been among the runs. With the ball, Shardul Thakur and Dwayne Bravo seem to be the best wicket-taking options at the moment for the Chennai Super Kings. Thakur has taken the most wickets for the team followed by Bravo. Ravindra Jadeja and Harbhajan Singh have decent economy rates and they could make a big impact here if the pitch has some turn in it for the spinners.
Recent Form
Chennai Super Kings are currently placed second on the IPL 2018 points table with seven wins and four defeats from eleven league matches. Their four-wicket loss to the Rajasthan Royals in their last match means that they now have to win at least two of their remaining three fixtures for a confirmed spot in the playoffs. So far, CSK have had a good season with the bat having scored over 160 in each of the six games in which they have batted first.
CSK Predicted Playing 11
Shane Watson, Ambati Rayudu, Suresh Raina, Sam Billings, MS Dhoni (c/wk), Dwayne Bravo, Ravindra Jadeja, Karn Sharma, David Willey, Harbhajan Singh, Shardul Thakur
CSK vs SRH Match Prediction
SRH Team News & Playing 11
Team News
Wriddhiman Saha was ruled out of the last game against the Delhi Daredevils due to a niggle and was replaced by wicketkeeper-batsman Shreevats Goswami. Sunrisers Hyderabad will bring Saha back for this upcoming match against the Chennai Super Kings if he gets fit in time. No further changes are expected in their line-up for this match.
Key Players
Captain Kane Williamson is leading from the front and has made significant contributions in almost every game. The New Zealand batsman has belted six half-centuries so far and is currently the second-highest run-scorer of the season. Shikhar Dhawan has also been in fine form and is coming off a sparkling 92* against the Delhi Daredevils. Manish Pandey has hit two fifties and he is a vital cog in the middle order. Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Shakib Al Hasan and Rashid Khan are the major threats with the ball. Rashid has been the pick of the lot and has taken the most wickets for the Sunrisers with a healthy economy rate. Bhuvneshwar had a rare off-day last time but he is expected to come back strongly against the Super Kings.
Recent Form
Sunrisers Hyderabad secured a convincing nine-wicket victory over the Delhi Daredevils in their last game to become the first team of the IPL 2018 to qualify for the playoffs. They are currently leading the points table after nine wins and two losses from eleven league fixtures. The Kane Williamson-led side has shown that it can not only defend meagre scores but can also chase down 180+ totals.
SRH Predicted Playing 11
Alex Hales, Shikhar Dhawan, Kane Williamson (c), Manish Pandey, Shakib Al Hasan, Yusuf Pathan, Wriddhiman Saha/Shreevats Goswami (wk), Rashid Khan, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Siddarth Kaul, Sandeep Sharma

CSK vs SRH Betting Odds
Chennai Super Kings begin as the bookmakers' favorites to win this game at odds of 1.75 on Betway, 1.80 on Bet365 and 1.90 on Betfair. Sunrisers Hyderabad are the underdogs for this game and are being offered at odds of 1.95 on Betway, 2 on Bet365 and 2.04 on Betfair.
Chennai vs Hyderabad Prediction
Sunrisers Hyderabad's performance this season has been top notch. They have excelled in all departments of the game and their batsmen and bowlers have backed each other very well. Momentum, definitely, is going to be with the orange army who are coming on the back of six consecutive victories. However, their underwhelming record against the Chennai Super Kings is something that will make them a little nervous ahead of this game. With that said, SRH have already booked their place in the playoffs and a loss here will not hurt them much. So they might consider experimenting with their lineup and could be tempted to test their bench strength as well. Now this should work in favor of the Super Kings who will be looking to bounce back after their defeat in the last game. CSK will be playing at Pune - their home away from home - where they have won three out of four matches this IPL which is one of the main reasons why we predict them to win this encounter.
Final Verdict: Back Chennai Super Kings to beat Sunrisers Hyderabad at 1.75 on Betway, 1.80 on Bet365 and 1.90 on Betfair.
