Sunrisers Hyderabad is set to welcome the reigning champions Chennai Super Kings at the city of Nawabs as the two teams lock horns in Match 18 of IPL 2024 on Friday (April 5) at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad.
Sunrisers are currently sitting 7th in the IPL table while the Super Kings are placed 3rd in the table. Sunrisers Hyderabad lost their last match against Gujarat whereas CSK also suffered their first defeat of the season at the hands of Delhi Capitals.

Sunrisers Hyderabad suffered a disappointing defeat against Gujarat in the last match, while Chennai were also beaten by Delhi Capitals in Vizag. Ruturaj Gaikwad and his team will be hoping to get back to winning ways, whereas the home team will be taking confidence from their last outing at the venue, where they scored a record 277 runs against Mumbai Indians.
It is a huge opportunity for CSK to get to six points and get themselves among the top boys as KKR and RR have won all of their matches so far. Sunrisers, on the other hand, will be aiming to register their second victory and be amongst the playoff places as well.
It is going to be an exciting encounter between these two southern teams, but we expect the Orange Army to come out as winners.
