Chennai are placed comfortably at the top of the points table and can extend their lead against Hyderabad in this match. Ruturaj Gaikwad & Faf du Plessis have been impeccable at the top with great batting support from Ravi Jadeja.
Hyderabad are all but eliminated, having won only 2 games out of 10 in the Indian T20 League. Without David Warner in the side, Jason Roy has stepped up in place. However, due to a lack of wickets & batting power, Hyderabad will only look for a consolation win.
