Today Match Prediction for CSK vs SRH Dream11:With the win against rivals RCB, Chennai showed that they mean business here in this competition. This is going to be another chance for them to go where they are most comfortable. At the top of the pile. Sunrisers have shown glimpses of recovery and have been performing really well for their team. This is going to be one of those games where their metal would be really tested against the MS Dhoni lead team but they would back their abilities and the fact that they will be playing at a new stadium in Delhi. The novelty factor of the pitch brings with it the unpredictability of how it is going to play
The same cannot be said though, for David Warner & Co. who have quickly slid to four defeats in five games and are at risk of falling well behind in the playoffs race that will soon start to gather steam. SRH began in Chepauk, where they should've had better performances despite their record there.
Injured/Unavailable: In a chat during CSK's previous game, Robin Uthappa allayed fears of a lengthy layoff for Moeen Ali. "He should be ready to go in the next game," he said. Given Moeen's impact so far, he's likely to slot back in right away. If CSK decide not to rush him back, they can stick with Dwayne Bravo who has a good record against SRH.
Tactics and matchups: Shardul Thakur, who now has 50 IPL wickets to his name, has created problems for Kane Williamson before. The SRH stalwart has faced 33 balls from Shardul, hitting 38 runs and getting dismissed twice.
Chennai Super Kings Playing 11 (likely)
Ravindra Jadeja – How do you keep him out of the game. The chips were down for his team and he came back swinging in the last game and how. He scored 62 of 28 and also picked up 3 wickets. He also had his hand in a runout. What a player.
Faf Du Plessis – He has been the consistent thread that has dominated the game here at the top of the order and he has been in the form of his life with 214 runs already in his kitty in the 5 games that have been played so far.
Injured/Unavailable: Bhuvneshwar Kumar missed the last game after "pulling up sore". Remains to be seen if he is ready for this fixture. Even if he is, SRH are likely to retain Jagadeesha Suchith in the line-up after his impressive outing in the narrow defeat to DC. Bhuvneshwar could come back in place of one of two quicks - Khaleel Ahmed or Siddarth Kaul.
Tactics & Matchups:Tactics & Match-ups: No better time for David Warner to take control of SRH's batting innings as they look to recover from a dreadful start to the season. He has five 50-plus scores against CSK in eight innings and has hit them at a strike rate of 151.97.
Sunrisers Hyderabad Playing 11
Jonny Bairstow – He is among oen of the better players in the league here and has been in the form of his life. There was a lot of talk about him not being the choice of the Sunrisers in the superovers. He had his case as he has scored 211 runs in 5 games with a strike rate of 141.61
Rashid Khan – He has not been at his best and yet has picked up 6 wickets from 5 games and this will be interesting to see what impact he has on the Dehi pitch.

Chennai Super Kings look like they are in control right now and that means only one thing, they are going to continue their winning run against the hapless Sunrisers team. CSK vs SRH Dream11 today match prediction
