It will be a crunch encounter between two southern teams as Chennai Super Kings lock horns against Sunrisers Hyderabad on Friday (April 21) at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai.
The four-time IPL champions CSK have made a decent start, winning three of their first five games. SRH, on the other hand, have won one less playing the same number of matches.

CSK Team News vs SRH: Chennai Super Kings will be looking to go with their previous team in the upcoming match. They pulled off a nail-biting win against RCB in the last match and will be keen to continue their momentum.
It is to be seen how CSK shape up at their home ground, which has so far produced batting decks. MS Dhoni may make some tweaks in the impact players list but overall the starting 11 may well be the same.
SRH Team News vs CSK: Sunrisers Hyderabad have been hot and cold this season so far. Their last match was a disappointing lost against Mumbai and again the bowling let them down. Aiden Markram may look to change their bowling personnel as Umran Malik may still remain on the bench.
The middle order will have to fire against CSK and the likes of Markram, Heinrich Klaasen and Abdul Samad will be crucial for them.
