CSK VS SRH Match Prediction: The 18th season of IPL has not been anything special for Sunrisers Hyderabad and Chennai Super Kings. Both the teams are at the ninth and 10th position respectively in the points table after six defeats each. On Friday, CSK and Hyderabad will play in Chennai to keep their hopes of playoffs alive. During this time, fans can see an interesting battle.
MA Chidambaram Stadium Pitch Report
If we talk about the pitch of MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai, then the dominance of spin bowlers is seen more here. As the match progresses, it becomes very difficult for the batsmen to score runs on this slow pitch. However, if there is dew in the match, then scoring runs can become a little easier during the second innings. If the team batting first scores more than 160 on this pitch, then it becomes a little easier for them to win the match.
CSK batsmen could not impress
Chennai head coach Stephen Fleming has openly expressed his displeasure over the pitch here. The wicket here is considered helpful for spinners but this time the fast bowlers are getting help here. Chennai has not performed well even at other places apart from its ground and has won only one match out of four matches played on other grounds. This time its batsmen are not able to perform well and its problems have increased due to regular captain Rituraj Gaikwad being out due to injury.
The pair of Abhishek and Travis flopped
The story of Sunrisers is also similar. His team also had a great start but after that his excessive aggression started costing him heavily. The explosive opening pair of Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma, who played an important role in his success last season, is not able to perform this time, due to which the team’s middle order has also been exposed. He had to face defeat by seven wickets against Mumbai Indians in the last match.
CSK VS SRH: Probable Playing 11
Chennai Super Kings: Sheikh Rashid, Rachin Ravindra, Ayush Mhatre, Shivam Dubey, Vijay Shankar, Ravindra Jadeja, Jamie Overton, MS Dhoni (captain and wicketkeeper), Noor Ahmed, Khalil Ahmed, Mathisha Pathirana, Ravichandran Ashwin.
