Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) and Chennai Super Kings (CSK) will look to get back to winning ways when they lock horns in match 18 of IPL 2024 at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad on Friday (April 5).
Pat Cummins-led SRH come into the match on the back of a 7-wicket loss to Gujarat Titans in Ahmedabad, while Ruturaj Gaikwad’s CSK are fresh from a 20-run loss to Delhi Capitals in Visakhapatnam.

Sunrisers Hyderabad, who had bounced back from the season-opening loss to Kolkata Knight Riders with a thumping win over Mumbai Indians, managed to post just 162, which was comfortably chased down by GT.
CSK, on the other hand, conceded 191 to DC and lost their way in the run chase, but Mahendra Singh Dhoni rolled back the years with an unbeaten 31 off 16 balls in a losing cause as the team could only manage 171 in the allotted 20 overs.
