Sunrisers Hyderabad
After a dismal restart to the IPL 2021 by Sunrisers Hyderabad, the team will be a bit relieved after getting their first win of phase two on Monday. With the hopes of qualifying almost over, Hyderabad will try to not finish last in the standings. There will be some respite as captain Williamson is back in form and Jason Roy who was brought into the side played brilliantly against Rajasthan.
Chennai Super Kings
Chennai Super Kings are in top form as they have found the perfect balance in their playing 11. Will all their players contributing, they will have their eyes set to finish within the top two spots of the table. It is highly unlikely that Chennai will make any changes after finding a winning combination.
Prediction for the IPL 2021 Match between SRH and CSK
Chennai is likely to topple Hyderabad because they have been in excellent form throughout this season. Despite winning the last contest, there is still a lot of problems in the SRH side that needs to be fixed. As a result, Csk is expected to continue its winning momentum.
Fantasy XI
Kane Williamson 9.5 Cr Captain
Kane Williamson has found himself amongst the runs in the last few innings and would try to continue playing the role of an anchor against Csk. Consequently, I have selected him as the captain for today’s match
Ruturaj Gaikwad – 9 Cr Vice Captain
The CSK opener has been in top form throughout this season of IPL 2021. Moreover, he has played sensibly in most of the games during phase two. As a result, I have selected him as the vice captain.
Jason Roy 8.5 Cr
The English opener played a terrific knock on Monday and was the main factor for Hyderabad’s victory against Rajasthan. His aggressive stroke play can come in handy once again and will be decisive in tomorrow’s game.
Faf Du Plessis 10 Cr
Along with Gaikwad, Du Plessis has helped Csk good starts during this phase two of IPL 2021. As a result, The South African is expected to score big against the SRH bowlers who are under pressure.
Moeen Ali 9.5 Cr
Moeen Ali has performed well in the last two games and him coming at number three has helped him a lot. The English all-rounder has a free role and can play as he wants which makes him a dangerous player.
Rashid Khan 9.5 Cr
Rashid Khan’s leg spin could work wonders as both the Csk openers are right handed and this Sharjah pitch could offer him some assistance. With him picking up at least a wicket in every game makes him a great bowler to have in a fantasy side.
Jason Holder 9 Cr
Holder has been effective in both departments for SRH. He is the only player that has performed consistently in this UAE leg. Moreover, one can expect him to flourish tomorrow as bowlers are poten on this Sharjah pitch.
Ravindra Jadeja 10 Cr
Jadeja contributed with both bat and ball in the last game and will be crucial on a slow Sharjah pitch. Moreover, he could be promoted above which would mean that he faces more deliveries.
Shardul Thakur 8.5 Cr
Thakur was brilliant in the last two games for Csk as he picked up two wickets each. As a result, Shardul is expected to take breakthroughs against a weak SRH middle order.
Wriddhiman Saha 8.5 Cr
Despite not scoring big, Wriddhiman Saha has consistently added runs for Srh at the top of the order. Him opening and giving points through catches makes him a viable option.
Siddharth Kaul 8 Cr
The medium fast pacer impressed heavily in his return to the lineup against Rajasthan in the last game. As a result, he will likely get the nod again and is expected to take wickets for Hyderabad.
