Chennai Super Kings and Sunrisers Hyderabad, both former IPL champions, have faced each other 23 times in the tournament’s history, with CSK holding the overall advantage in the rivalry.
Chennai have won 15 of those encounters, while SRH have registered eight victories, including one earlier this season.
However, recent meetings paint a different picture. Sunrisers have enjoyed the upper hand in the last five clashes, winning thrice and losing only twice.
The two sides meet again tonight at Chepauk, where CSK will benefit from home support. Still, SRH remain a formidable challenge with their explosive batting line-up and a well-rounded bowling attack capable of troubling any opposition.
