CSK vs SRH Dream11 Prediction: Chennai Super Kings (CSK) will look to snap their two-game skid when they play host to Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in the Indian Premier League (IPL) at MA Chidambaram Stadium on Sunday evening. The match is scheduled to start at 07:30 PM (IST). The two defeats for CSK came against the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG), away and both, while SRH went down at home against the last-placed Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in their last match.
The importance of this game for CSK can’t be overstated. The next couple of games will decide whether CSK are on course to defend their title, or the plans for the next season are set in motion. For, CSK have dropped to 6th on the points table. That’s an uncanny situation for a team of CSK’s pedigree. But all’s not lost for Ruturaj Gaikwad and co, as only two points separate them from 2nd placed Kolkata Knight Riders.
For Sunrisers Hyderabad, this game offers a perfect chance to do the double over CSK following the win in the reverse fixture earlier in the season. Check CSK vs SRH Dream11 Prediction.
CSK vs SRH Pitch & Weather Report
Pitch Report: Not so long ago, the pitch at MA Chidambaram Stadium was a haven for slow bowlers and spinners, but the nature of the deck has changed. These days, it’s a balanced pitch, where batters and bowlers, on their day, can showcase their skills.
Take, for example, the last match. Only 8 wickets fell in the encounter between CSK and LSG, four for each team. CSK batted first and posted 210/4, and LSG made little work of that total, chasing it down in 19.3 overs and winning by six wickets in the end. The team batting first has to score in excess of 180-190 runs, or the chasing team would have a walk in the park.
Weather Report: Of course, Chennai is hot for most of the year, but it’s peak summer time now. So, expect excessive heat and humid conditions when the players from both teams step foot on MA Chidambaram Stadium for this pivotal game.
Since this is an evening game, there would be some respite from the heat, as the temperature should drop by a few degrees, but not significantly. However, humidity is a factor here, likely to be more than 70% on Sunday. Tough conditions for a game of cricket.
