IPL 2021: CSK vs SRH – Match Preview

Chennai Super Kings

Chennai Super Kings (CSK) are on a roll at the moment. After losing their first match against Delhi Capitals (DC), they have notched up four wins in a row that has seen them jump to the top two spots on the points table. A win today would take them back to the top and that is exactly what they would be after.

In their previous match against Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB), Ravindra Jadeja delivered with a stupendous all-round performance that saw him hit 62 with the bat, take 3 wickets with the ball and also effect a direct-hit run-out. It was a thumping win and CSK also got a boost to their net run-rate.

CSK would fancy their chances of making it five wins in a row today.

Sunrisers Hyderabad

Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) are in a spot of bother at the moment as they are placed last. The Orange Army is the only side with just 2 points to its name and if a turnaround doesn’t happen soon enough, making it to the playoffs – something which the side has always done, could turn out to be difficult.

In their previous match, SRH lost in the Super Over to DC as even the best efforts of Kane Williamson and some late hitting from J Suchith were not enough to see them cross the line as the match ended in a tie. In the Super Over, SRH could manage just 7 runs and although Rashid Khan was near-impossible to hit, DC were home off the last ball.

SRH would want to be at their best today against CSK to upset the Men in Yellow.
