SRH, led by Pat Cummins, started this edition's journey with a defeat, as they lost the game to two-time champions Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) by four runs. However, they made a brilliant comeback in their second game as they defeated Mumbai Indians by 31 runs at home. The Hyderbad-based franchise couldn't carry forward the winning momentum as they suffered a seven-wicket defeat against Gujarat Titans in their last game.
Defending champions CSK, on the other hand, started the season with a bang and registered two back-to-back victories against Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Gujarat Titans respectively. However, the result of the last game against Delhi Capitals wasn’t as pleasing as they would’ve liked as the Ruturaj Gaikwad-led side suffered a 20-run defeat.

Pitch report
The Hyderabad stadium is likely to offer a flat pitch that may provide some assistance to spin bowlers. Given the presence of dew at this venue, the preferred choice would be to chase the target after winning the toss. While the pitch in Hyderabad has been somewhat unpredictable, it is expected to follow the general trend observed across other pitches during this season.
