Chennai Super Kings

Meanwhile, Ajinkya Rahane and Shivam Dube have held the fort for CSK in the middle order. In the bowling department, Chennai are yet to find optimum consistency in performances, but the improvement shown by Tushar Deshpande and Matheesha Pathirana game after game has been a pleasing thing for the team management.

Sunrisers Hyderabad

Sunrisers Hyderabad batting lineup is quite reliant on performances from the captain Aiden Markram and Harry Brook. When they get out cheaply, SRH automatically finds itself in trouble irrespective of the opposition. Meanwhile, in the bowling side of things, Sunrisers have Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Mayank Markande, who are bowling reasonably well, but they are lacking support from their other teammates.
