Chennai Super Kings sit pretty at the top of the table with eight wins in 10 games and will qualify for the playoffs if they beat Sunrisers Hyderabad.
Chennai Super Kings after leaving the last season's demons aside have looked like the champion side they have been in the Indian Premier League (IPL) once again having won eight games out of the 10 they have played and are on the verge of another qualification.
Sunrisers Hyderabad, on the other hand, are on the opposite side of the spectrum with just two wins in 10 games and are placed at the eighth spot. However, the men in orange have nothing to lose and could spoil some parties as they did the other night beating Rajasthan Royals pretty comfortably.
The MS Dhoni-led side has had the advantage over the Orange Army in the last five games the two sides have played against each other, winning three of them while SRH have won two out of last five games between the two sides.
Head-to-head: 15 games; CSK - 11, SRH - 4
The Chennai Super Kings and the Sunrisers Hyderabad have faced each other 15 times in the seven seasons of the IPL (SRH came into existence in 2013 and CSK were suspended for two seasons - 2016 and 2017) and the men in yellow have had the upper hand with 11 wins with a winning percentage of 71, while SRH have won only 4 out of those 14 encounters.
The last time these two sides met each other earlier in this season Chennai Super Kings chased down 172 runs owing to a fabulous 129-run opening partnership between Ruturaj Gaikwad and Faf du Plessis as the former went on to score 75 runs.
Suresh Raina leads the most runs list
