The second match of Sunday’s doubleheader will see defending champions Chennai Super Kings (CSK) lock horns with Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) at the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Pune. Both teams are coming from the back of respective defeats and will hope to return to the winning ways to keep themselves in the fray for the playoffs.
With MS Dhoni back at the helm for the Chennai franchise, the defending champions will hope to win all their remaining fixtures to give themselves the best opportunity to make it to the playoffs. Even though Robin Uthappa and Shivam Dube have been chipping in, CSK need more, especially with Ravindra Jadeja also finding it hard to provide the finishing touch.
After losing their opening two matches, the Sunrisers have stormed back big time by winning the next five. They would have made it six out of six but lost out by the barest of margins against Gujarat Titans. However, the defeat shouldn’t bother much and SRH will look to continue the work they have been doing so far.
