Chennai Super Kings will be coming into the contest after defeating Royal Challengers Bangalore at their own den. With three wins out of five games, they are currently placed at third position in the IPL points table. Each and every individual has stepped-up in different situations for CSK. Ruturaj Gaikwad scored two back-to-back fifties in the first two games, Devon Conway stood-up with consecutive fifties in last two games.

Shivam Dube, Ravindra Jadeja, Moeen Ali, Ambati Rayudu and MS Dhoni all came up with few good cameos in the lower order whenever needed. In the bowling department, Tushar Deshpande, who started as an impact player has fared well with aggregate 10 wickets in as many as 5 games so far with an impressive strike rate of 11 but was little bit expensive. CSK would look to carry the winning momentum. 

Sunrisers Hyderabad, on the other hand, will be coming into the contest after suffering a 14-run loss at the hands of Mumbai Indians. From getting hammered against Rajasthan Royals and Lucknow Super Giants in the first two games, to bouncing back strongly with sensational wins in the next two games against PBKS and KKR, to suffering a marginal defeat against MI summarizes the journey of SRH so far.

Harry Brook, after ordinary performances in first three games, smashed a magnificent century against KKR becoming the fourth youngest overseas batter to do so. Aiden Markram, Rahul Tripathi, Mayank Agarwal and Heinrich Klassen too came up with good performances at different situations. Mayank Markande has been exceptional in the bowling department with 6 wickets in as many as three games. They would look to bounce back to winning ways.
