Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) will look to get back to winning ways with an aim to push for a top four finish when they lock horns in match 46 of IPL 2024 at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on Sunday (April 28).
Ruturaj Gaikwad’s CSK head into the clash on the back of two successive defeats to Lucknow Super Giants with the latest being an 8-wicket loss at home, while Pat Cummins-led SRH is fresh from a 35-run loss to Royal Challengers Bengaluru in their most recent outing in IPL 2024.

CSK rode on skipper Gaikwad’s unbeaten century to post 210/4, but could not stop LSG from pulling off the highest chase at the Chepauk with 3 balls to spare after Marcus Stoinis’ undefeated maiden century.
SRH, on the other hand, conceded 206 against RCB and failed to chase down the target after their in-form top order collapse meant they could only post 171 in their allotted 20 overs.
The Sunrisers, however, will take confidence from the reverse fixture result against their Southern rivals after Aiden Markram fifty and Abhishek Sharma’s 12-ball 37 saw them reach the target of 166 with 11 balls and 6 wickets to spare in Hyderabad earlier this month.
CSK will look to home comforts when they face SRH at the MA Chidambaram Stadium, where they will clash for the fifth time in their 21st meeting in IPL since Sunrisers Hyderabad made their debut in 2013. Here is a look at the head to head record of CSK vs SRH IPL 2024 Match 46:
