Preview
In the 18th match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024, Sunrisers Hyderabad will lock horns against Chennai Super Kings at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad. After losing their trip to GT, their second straight away defeat of the season, it will be important for SRH to put up yet another memorable performance at home to keep up the pace with the top team in the tournament. Meanwhile, CSK suffered a surprise defeat against DC up the road in Visakhapatnam, which is why they will have to string together a better outing in their second away match of IPL 2024.
Team News
The Bangladesh fast bowler, Mustafizur Rahman, has reportedly left India for his home country to get his visa sorted out for the T20 World Cup 2024 participation. Therefore, his participation in the upcoming match for Chennai Super Kings against Sunrisers Hyderabad is highly unlikely.

Analysis
The batting lineup of Sunrisers Hyderabad has been a stronger suit in the IPL 2024 thus far, with the players like Travis Head, Abhishek Sharma, Heinrich Klaasen, and Aiden Markram, scoring runs at more than a fair rate in the early stages of the tournament. In the bowling side of things, the captain Pat Cummins has been quite reliable for SRH in a few crunch situations with the ball, while the likes of Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Jaydev Unadkat delivering some key overs as well.
On the other side, the batting lineup of Chennai Super Kings had a rare off day against DC in their previous match, with their star player Rachin Ravindra getting dismissed cheaply, and following which, the contributions from Ajinkya Rahane and the captain MS Dhoni, didn’t prove to be enough. Matheesha Pathirana was on a rampage at one stage during the recent bowling effort of CSK, while Mustafizur Rahman continues to be one of the top wicket takers in the IPL 2024 currently.
