Match Preview
In the 46th clash of the 17th Indian Premier League, Chennai Super Kings will be up against SunRisers Hyderabad. The match is slated to be played at the MA Chidambaram Stadium, popularly called Chepauk, on April 28, Sunday. This will be the first time both sides will face each other in the current season, and considering their current performances, it would be safe to say that the game will be a thrilling contest.
CSK, with four wins and four losses, are currently grabbing the fifth spot on the standings. SRH, on the flip side, displayed brilliant gameplay in the last game to find themselves third spot in the points table. Both sides will take on the field on the back of losses and would want to turn around their last results.
Pitch Report
The MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai is known for its sporting pitch which favours both batters and bowlers. It is generally dry, which provides a grip for spinners. It slows down with the progression of the match and makes it difficult to play stroke in the second innings. The surface has enough bounce but the patch and drier nature makes the ball turn and grip for the spinners.
Team Analysis
Chennai Super Kings
Five-time champions Chennai Super Kings are having a curvy season thus far. After they started on a victorious note and registered back-to-back wins, the 2023 winners lost their momentum. The pattern continued and CSK, under Ruturaj Gaikwad’s captaincy, kept losing and winning games. While the team has performed really well, there are still a few factors holding them back, which they need to overcome.
The batting unit featuring stars like Ruturaj Gaikwad and Shivam Dube have displayed remarkable prowess in almost all the games. CSK are expected to come up with a better strategy and are required to come up with a solid plan to win maximum games ahead.

SunRisers Hyderabad
SunRisers Hyderabad, under a new skipper, Pat Cummins, this year, came from behind and delivered record-breaking performances in the 2024 season so far. The Orange Army have a threatening batting order, and it wouldn’t be wrong to say that they have unleashed the potential of each batter. Travis Head, who became every bowler’s worst nightmare, failed to deliver in the last game. The Australian is expected to make a comeback in the forthcoming game and once again come up with a notable performance.
