Preview & Prediction: Match 14 (CSK vs SRH)

While Sunrisers have found some momentum by beating the Capitals in their last game, CSK is still to invent its batting which currently lacks firepower. Super Kings are coming from a big break and are expected to turn things around with a much needed new squad combination.
 

Pitch
Dubai: The pitch should slow down as the game progresses. Dew has not been a factor big enough to chase down scores here. Help for pacers.
 

Probable XI
CSK: Faf, Watson, Rayudu, Dhoni, Ruturaj, Jadhav, Jadeja, Sam Curran, Bravo, Chahar, Chawla
Tahir could be the part of the new combo CSK decides to go with. Bravo is fit and available.

SRH: Warner, Bairstow, Manish, Williamson, Shankar, Samad, Abhishek, Rashid, Bhuvi, Khaleel, Natarajan

 

Head to Head
Head to Head across seasons, CSK has a staggering record of 75% wins versus the Orange Army.
