Travis Head, Abhishek Sharma, and skipper Pat Cummins are the key players in the team.

Like Hyderabad, Chennai Super Kings are also coming to play their next fixture after witnessing a loss in the previous game. It was their first loss in the league and the team will be eyeing to get back on track on Friday. A weak start from the bowling unit resulted in a pressured situation for the batters.
Matheesha Pathirana did the damage control by scalping 3 wickets in the middle overs at an economy of 7.75. Mustafizur Rahman and Ravindra Jadeja picked up a single wicket each but they were expensive at an economy of 11.75 and 10.75 respectively.
The top order was a complete failure as Gaikwad and Ravindra failed to give a good start to the team. Ajinkye Rahane handled the situation and scored 45 off 30 at a strike rate of 150. Daryl Mitchell scored 34 of 26 at a strike rate of 130.77. Ravindra Jadeja (21 off 17) and MS Dhoni (37 off 16) played crucial roles in the lower order but it was too late to win the match.
Rachin Ravindra, Ajinkya Rahane, and Matheesha Pathirana are the key players in the team.
Predicted Lineup: Ruturaj Gaikwad (c), Rachin Ravindra, Ajinkya Rahane, Daryl Mitchell, Shivam Dube, Ravindra Jadeja, Sameer Rizvi, MS Dhoni (wk), Deepak Chahar, Tushar Deshpande, Mustafizur Rahman, Matheesha Pathirana (Impact Player)
Sunrisers Hyderabad have a major void in their bowling unit. Except for Pat Cummins, no other bowler is able to perform and has shown a higher economy in every game.
Chennai Super Kings have a good depth in their batting unit and have run-scoring machines till the 7th down. The Chennai batters will get the benefit of Hyderabadβs weak bowling and we predict a win for Chennai Super Kings on Friday.
