A wobbly Chennai will face a dominant Sunrisers Hyderabad in what seems like a grand encounter meant only to determine where the bragging rights go. The last time these two teams faced each other, Sunrisers were coming off the back of a loss and now, they are on a seven-match winning streak and have already qualified for the play-offs.

Chennai Super Kings

The Chennai juggernaut started very well but are now finding a lot of roadblocks along the way. The team termed as a bunch of oldies, however, still find themselves at number two – and that is why they have a safety cushion.

Their bowling has been their biggest concern and it is why they have lost a majority of their games this season. The likes of Suresh Raina, MS Dhoni and Ambati Rayudu are in hot touch and would like to continue this till the end.

Predicted XI: Shane Watson, Ambati Rayudu, Suresh Raina, MS Dhoni, Sam Billings, Dwayne Bravo, Ravi Jadeja, David Willey, Karn Sharma, Harbhajan Singh, Shardul Thakur

Sunrisers Hyderabad

The way they are playing, it seems as though no team can beat them. Their bowling attack was always top-notch and highly-rated, but here questions about their batting – and, oh boy, how did they answer that!

Shikhar Dhawan and Kane Williamson played a gem of an innings each to comfortably chase down Delhi’s posted target of 188. The only worry they have now is Manish Pandey’s form – and that may also come good in a while.

Predicted XI: Shikhar Dhawan, Alex Hales, Kane Williamson, Manish Pandey, Shakib Al Hasan, Yusuf Pathan, Shreevats Goswami, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Rashid Khan, Sandeep Sharma, Siddharth Kaul
