SRH vs CSK: Match Preview & Dream 11 Fantasy Tips | IPL 2019

SRH vs CSK Match Preview – The Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium is all set to host an epic encounter, where both the finalists of IPL 2018 will lock horns with each other for the first time in this season.

However, the form of both the teams has been contrasting till now..

The home side, Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) has started their journey of this season in a dominating manner. However, they could not hold that dominance and their campaign has fallen away a tad.

SRH has lost it’s last three games against the Delhi Capitals (DC), Mumbai Indians (MI) and Kings XI Punjab (KXIP), resulting them to drop down at sixth position in the points table.

On the other hand, the MS Dhoni-led Chennai Super Kings are high on confidence with their back-to-back wins in 4 matches. They are currently the table toppers with 14 points in 8 matches.

The last time when both the teams faced each other in IPL 2018, CSK won the final comfortably. Now, it’ll be very interesting to see, whether Sunrisers avenge their defeat from the Chennai Super Kings, or the yellow army wins another game to confirm their spot in the playoffs.

Here are the match preview, Dream 11 fantasy league teams, pitch report, weather conditions, our power picks, and all the details of today’s match.

Pitch Report/Condition:

From the last couple of matches, the pitch at Hyderabad has been a bit slow. This allows spinners to come into play and get some wickets for their side.

The behaviour of the pitch will remain the same for today’s game as well, and it will most likely help spinners to hunt early wickets. Looking at the pitch’s condition, we also expect the team winning the toss to bat first on this surface.

Power Pick Player

Our power pick for today’s match between SRH and CSK is Suresh Raina.

In his last 8 innings against the Sunrisers Hyderabad in IPL, Raina has scored 370 runs at an average of 40.50, making him a must-have player in small leagues.

Our Advice:

Pick Ms Dhoni in your grand league teams and make him a captain or vice-captain, as he is in very good form. His performance on the slow wickets is also very good.

We also advise you to pick Kane Williamson in your teams as he is due for a big knock in this season of the Indian Premier League. Making him a captain in grand leagues could also be a wise choice.

Our Match Prediction:

CSK has been in a tremendously good form in the tournament so far. Thus, we predict them to win tonight’s encounter against the SRH at Hyderabad.

Our Dream11 teams for yesterday’s match performed really well, and we hope you win small and grand leagues of fantasy cricket games with our today’s match predictions, match previews, detailed analysis of the match, and fantasy cricket tips.
