Chennai vs Hyderabad Match 14 is scheduled to start at 07:30 PM IST (06:00 PM local time) (02:00 PM UTC). The game will be telecasted on the Star Sports Network (Available in English, Hindi, Telugu, Tamil, Kannada and Bengali). Also, live streaming will be available on Disney+ Hotstar.

Preview:

Both Chennai and Hyderabad had a similar start of their campaign with the latter being ahead in terms of NRR. Being one of the most successful teams in the history of the tournament, Chennai hasn’t had the start they have expected. They have struggled to continue their winning momentum after the first game against Mumbai in the season opener. They are currently at the bottom on the points table with only one win in three games. Their poor intent with the bat seems to be the major reason behind their slow start in their campaign. With Faf du Plessis already doing well at number three, Chennai will get back the service of Rayudu in the middle order which may change their fortunes in upcoming matches.

On the other side, Hyderabad is one of the most balanced and consistent sides in recent years. But they started their campaign with two losses in two games. They finally managed to register their first win with the likes of Kane Williamson back in their batting order. They seem to be overdependent on their opening pair, but with Kane back in the team, their batting order looks a lot more balanced on paper. With a promising debut from Abdul Samad and a complete all-round performance with the ball, Hyderabad will be expecting their young middle order to step up and help them to take the two points in Dubai.
