CSK vs SRH Match Prediction

Hyderabad should manage to beat Chennai at their home. In their only IPL 2024 home match, they posted a record 277-run total and defeated Mumbai Indians by 31 runs.

Hyderabad's power-packed batting unit is expected to leave a major impact on the game. CSK pacer Mustafizur Rahman will also be unavailable as he is in Bangladesh to complete his US visa formalities for T20 World Cup 2024 processed. This is also expected to hurt Chennai.
