Sunrisers Hyderabad

SRH won a thriller against DC in their last game. Their openers and middle-order batsmen are in form and scored valuable runs in the match. Bhuvneshwar Kumar led their bowling attack along with Natarajan & Umran Malik. In spin bowling, they have Abhishek Sharma & Mayank Markande who performed well in the tournament.

Kolkata Knight Riders

KKR lost their last match against GT by a big margin. Their batting lineup also didn't show a consistent performance where they put up big totals only based on individual brilliance. Also in bowling, their spin trio also haven't performed consistently in the tournament and went for runs in the last game.

Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Kolkata Knight Riders | Dream XI Team Prediction

After the mega IPL 2025 auction on 24th and 25th November, every Indian Premier League franchise made their squad for the upcoming IPL season. Rishabh Pant was the most expensive player in the auction history with an INR 27 cr bid from Lucknow Super Giants. Meantime, Shreyas Iyer and Venkatesh Iyer also attracted huge bids from Punjab Kings and KKR respectively.

After the auction, only Chennai Super Kings (CSK), Gujarat Titans and Punjab Kings (PBKS) were the teams to have a full quota of 25 players in their squad. Meantime, Surisers Hyderabad (SRH) and Rajasthan Royals were the teams with the least number of players in the squad. 

Before the mega auction, each team had the option to retain a maximum of six players including capped and uncapped players. Post the retentions, teams picked their squads in a bidding war for two days.

Another match in Indian Premier League 2024 got washed out as Sunriseres Hyderabad and Gujarat Titans shared a point each in Hyderabad. With this one point, SRH qualified for the playoffs while Delhi Capitals got eliminated from the tournament.

Here are the IPL 2024 playoff situations after the SRH vs GT match

1. SRH qualified for the playoffs

Sunrisers Hyderabad qualified for the IPL 2024 with 15 points in 7 games and a net run rate of 0.406. With 7 wins, 5 defeats and 1 washed-out game, the Pat Cummins-led team are currently at number three in the points table.

2. Delhi Capitals also eliminated from IPL 2024

Even after three good wins in the last five games, Rishabh Pant's Delhi Capitals are now officially eliminated from the IPL 2024 race. In 14 matches, they managed to earn 14 points with 7 wins and 7 defeats. After, SRH's entry to the top four, Delhi are now out from IPL 2024.

3. RCB vs CSK is now a knockout match for RCB

RCB will now have to win their last match against CSK to qualify for the IPL 2024 playoffs. Not only that, they will have to win by 18 runs or chase within 18.1 overs (assuming a first innings score of 200). If that match goes washed out as well, RCB will be eliminated from the tournament. 

4. Chance for RR to finish second 

Rajasthan Royals now can finish in second place if they can beat table topper Kolkata Knight Riders in their final game of the league stage. With 18 points in 14 games, they will secure their place at the number two position. 

5. Chance for SRH to finish second 

Sunrisers Hyderabad can finish at number two in the points table if they can beat Punjab Kings in their last game and hope KKR beat Rajasthan Royals afterwards. Both the games are on Sunday and SRH will play in the afternoon while KKR will face RR in the evening.

6. Chance for CSK to finish second as well

Meantime, Chennai Super Kings also can finish second if they can beat Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) and hope that RR and SRH will lose their respective games against KKR and PBKS respectively. 

Match 46 of the Indian Premier League will see Ruturaj Gaikwad's Chennai Super Kings host Pat Cummings Sunriseres Hyderabad at MA Chidambaram Stadium on Sunday. SRH, placed at number three on the points table with five wins from seven games, will look to bounce back from their last defeat. Meanwhile, CSK are placed fifth on the points table and coming off back-to-back defeats. 

As both teams look for a win, this encounter becomes more interesting and exciting for the fans and teams. Go through the full CSK vs SRH match preview, head-to-head stats, possible playing XIs and Fantasy team prediction from our analysis.

Read about the best bowling figures in the Indian Premier League for each team.

Pitch and weather report

Chepauk never used to be a flat deck with lots of runs, and low-scoring matches in Chennai used to be CSK's strength over the years. However, the ground has already seen three of the eight innings go over 200 runs this season. With 200+ scored in the last game at the ground, we can expect runs on the pitch, which can favour SRH with their attacking mindset. 

As per the weather reports, the sky will be clear and sunny. The temperature will be around 29-30 degrees Celcius. Humidity will be around 82%, and no rain is forecasted in the next 24 hours. 

CSK vs SRH head-to-head stats

Team News: CSK vs SRH

Chennai Super Kings

After winning three games at their den, Ruturaj Gaikwad's Chennai Super Kings were halted by Lucknow Super Giants in Chepauk, and not only that, they lost the reverse fixture in Lucknow. So, a defeat against SRH would mean they will lose their place in the points table. However, they back a punch better than anyone in their home.

Captain Ruturaj Gaikwad has looked good and has been their best batter with 349 runs. Shivam Dube follows him on the list with 311 runs but with a greater impact and strike rate. Dube's striking ability at the end and middle overs has been extraordinary this season, and CSK will bank on him again against SRH. 

However, Ajinkya Rahane will be under the scanner after not providing any impactful inning in IPL 2024. Rahane, who had a solid IPL 2023, has not found his rhythm yet. Though CSK team management has been persisting with him and sent him to open the inning, he has failed as an opener too. 

In bowling, Mustafizur Rahman and Matheesha Pathirana have been their best bowlers in the tournament. Though the Bangladeshi speedster could not defend 17 runs in the last over in the previous game, CSK will have faith in him to do the job this time. But, with SRH's power game in mind, CSK will need Deepak Chahar to take wickets with the new ball. 

Sunrisers Hyderabad

SRH's winning run broke in the last game against Royal Challengers Bengaluru when they could not chase 207 at home. But, they certainly do not look like a team to change their approach, and if the pitch allows them to go "bang-bang", they will go for it. 

Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma's opening pair has been one of the most lethal duos of the tournament. Alongside them, Heinrich Klaasen has been in solid knick too. 

RCB, in the last game, proved that with spin upfront, SRH can be forced into uncomfortable positions. If CSK throw Moen Ali in, it will be interesting to see how Sharma and Head tackle him. 

Though SRH have been part of many high-scoring games, both captain Pat Cummins and T Natarajan have been very good with the ball in hand. Pat, especially with his variations, has found a new "mojo" to his bowling now. Jaydev Undakat's three-for in the last match will boost his confidence as well.

If the wicket tends to grip a bit, SRH can turn to Washington Sundar and Shahbaz Ahmed alongside Aiden Markram.

Possible lineup

CSK: Ruturaj Gaikwad (C), Ajinkya Rahane, Daryl Mitchell, Ravindra Jadeja, Shivam Dube, Moeen Ali, MS Dhoni (wk), Deepak Chahar, Tushar Deshpande, Mustafizur Rahman, Matheesha Pathirana

Impact players: Shardul Thakur, Sameer Rizvi

SRH: Travis Head, Abhishek Sharma, Aiden Markram, Heinrich Klaasen (wk), Abdul Samad, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Shahbaz Ahmed, Pat Cummins (C), Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Jaydev Unadkat, Mayank Markande

Impact players: T Natarajan, Rahul Tripathi
