Pitch and weather

The weather in Hyderabad is said to be quite warm with temperatures ranging between 39°C and 24°C. But, since the match is taking place in the evening, the temperatures should be cooler.

Coming to the pitch, it has been quite underused due to very few matches being played at the venue. This was mostly because the Lal Bahadur Shastri Stadium was the more popular pick. But since the Hyderabad Cricket Association (HCA) had limited access to that stadium, the Rajiv Gandhi stadium was used. The wicket is considered as a flat track and that slows down as the game progresses. In other words, it is a very spin-friendly surface and it should provide decent entertainment in this SRH vs CSK clash.

Prediction for match result

Given the CSK have been in red hot form off late in IPL 2019, the edge lies with them as the favourites. The Sunrisers have only accumulated a mere 6 points and have lost the last three IPL 2019 matches in a row. So it would most likely be a comfortable win in this CSK vs SRH match.

Finally, it would appear that we are in for another year of CSK domination in IPL 2019. The evidence is there for all to see, with them winning 7 out of 8 IPL 2019 matches. The Sunrisers need to pull out all the stops if they are to pull off an upset but it seems unlikely in the SRH vs CSK clash.
