Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) lock horns against each other in the southern derby in Match No. 29 of the ongoing edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) on Friday, April 21, 2023, at MA. Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. The Men in Yellow and the Orange Army will meet only once in the league stage of the sixteenth edition of the league.
Speaking about form, the four-time champions CSK lost their opening encounter against defending champions Gujarat Titans (GT) before winning back-to-back games against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) and their bitter rivals Mumbai Indians (MI). Dhoni’s side faced yet another defeat at the hands of Rajasthan Royals (RR) but returned to winning ways against Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in their last encounter. With six points and a net run rate of +0.265, they are placed in the third position in the table.
On the other hand, SRH have made an opposite start as they have played five with just two wins and three losses. They began their season with two consecutive defeats at the hands of RR and LSG. Markram’s team bounced back as they registered two victories on the trot against Punjab Kings (PBKS) and Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR). Though SRH faced another loss against MI in their last match at home, the Orange Army will be looking to claim their third win and move higher in the points table.
