Both Sunrisers Hyderabad and Chennai Super Kings will be hoping for their first win of the season as they battle it out at the Dr DY Patil Stadium in Mumbai on 9 April.
Chennai Super Kings are down in the dumps after three successive losses against Kolkata Knight Riders, Lucknow Super Giants and Punjab Kings. The team needs to focus on a multitude of issues in order to succeed. Ruturaj Gaikwad needs to fire up and score some runs, while skipper Ravindra Jadeja must contribute more to both batting and bowling.

Also, CSK will have to sort out their issues with their bowling stocks as this is where they have lost control of matches.
Sunrisers Hyderabad are no better – they have lost both their games against Rajasthan Royals and Lucknow Super Giants. However, there were glimpses of some good form in their last match against Lucknow and they need to fire as a unit in order to topple CSK. Nicolas Pooran and Aiden Markram can be lethal for an out of form CSK.
