SRH vs CSK Dream11 Prediction: Chennai Super Kings will look to bounce back from a shock defeat against Delhi Capitals when they play Sunrisers Hyderabad at Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium on Friday, April 05, 2024. SRH also went down fighting in the last match losing against Gujarat Titans in the last over.
Odds were heavily titled towards Chennai Super Kings favoring them to have an easy outing against the Delhi Capitals. But only if the matches were played on paper. DC ripped the mickey out of pre-match odds and beat the reigning champion CSK by 20 runs. This loss should serve as a wake-up call for Ruturaj Gaikwad, who has so far enjoyed a smooth tenure as captain of the Chennai outfit.
Fortunately for Gaikwad, MS Dhoni is still part of the team, providing him with a wealth of experience, wise counsel, and guidance to navigate the challenging role of leading a franchise as esteemed and successful as CSK.
For Sunrisers Hyderabad, the issue lies in their away form. Both of their defeats have occurred away from home: at Eden Garden against Kolkata Knight Riders and at Narendra Modi Stadium against Gujarat Titans. However, addressing their away form should be of lesser concern for SRH, given that they are playing at home in this match. The last time SRH played a home game, they shattered the record for the highest runs scored in an innings in the IPL.
SRH vs CSK Pitch & Weather Report
Pitch Report: When the score reads 277/3 after 20 overs, the pitch gives away everything about its nature. We all know what happened the last time Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium hosted an IPL match. SRH shattered all the batting records. Expect the pitch to keep ignoring the bowlers and take side with the batters once again.
Weather Report: The weather forecast for Hyderabad on Friday indicates hot and humid conditions with the temperature soaring as high as 40°C in the afternoon. But the conditions should cool down a little bit in the evening, and the temperature should provide some respite, likely to be around 28°C – 32°C when the match kicks off at 07:30 PM (IST). There’s 15%-20% chance of rain, but the drizzle is unlikely to interrupt the match.

TOP Picks For SRH vs CSK Dream 11 Match
Captain Options:
- Heinrich Klaasen: There are few players who are loved by one and all and Heinrich Klaasen belongs to that category.
