Both teams are going through tough times in the tournament. Either of them is yet to register their first win in the tournament. Thus, Hyderabad and Chennai will be looking to win the match and register their first points in the tournament.

Team News:

Chennai: Chennai is struggling to find form in all aspects of the game. They have not yet found the right team combination for the league and have been forced to make changes. Everything is looking out of place for Chennai and they will hope to find an answer to all their woes soon and get their campaign on track.

Probable XI: Ruturaj Gaikwad, Robin Uthappa, Moeen Ali (O), Ambati Rayudu, Ravindra Jadeja (C), Shivam Dube, MS Dhoni (WK), Dwayne Bravo (O), Dwaine Pretorius (O), Chris Jordan (O), Mukesh Choudhary.

Key Players:

Shivam Dube: Shivam Dube has not performed at the expected level with the ball, but has struck a good form with the bat in the last two matches. He scored 49 and 57 in the last two matches, and the team will be hoping that he continues his form in the next match.

Ruturaj Gaikwad: Ruturaj Gaikwad was the orange cap winner of the last season and the franchise had huge expectations on him, that he will provide them with solid starts even in this edition. But so far, Gaikwad has not clicked at all and hence Chennai’s top order has failed to provide them with sold starts. The team will be hoping that the young batter finds his from soon and starts giving them the solidity required at the top of the order.

Ravindra Jadeja: It seems like the responsibility of captaincy is affecting Jadeja’s performance. The team will hope that he sorts out the mess in his head and starts delivering big.

Hyderabad: The journey for Hyderabad has been similar to Chennai in the 15^th edition of the Indian T20 League. They have also faced defeat in their first two matches and are lingering at the bottom of the table. Hyderabad lost their last match against Lucknow by 12 runs even after a good bowling effort. They will look to sort out their issues and get their journey back on track. The young pacer of the team Umran Malik has been impressive with his genuine speed but his lack of control has hurt the team. Hyderabad may look to drop Malik and go with Kartik Tyagi in the next match.

Probable XI: Rahul Tripathi, Kane Williamson (C) (O), Aiden Markram (O), Nicholas Pooran (O), Abhishek Sharma, Abdul Samad, Romario Shepherd (O), Washington Sundar, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, T Natarajan, Kartik Tyagi

Key Players:

Kane Williamson: Kane Williamson is the mainstay of the Hyderabad batting. But he has not yet found his form in the tournament. The team will hope that Williamson gets back to himself soon and helps the cause of his team with some solid starts.

Washington Sundar: Washington Sundar has been very impressive with both bat and ball in the tournament. He scored 40 runs off 14 deliveries in the first match, while picking up 2 wickets from his 4 overs conceding just 28 runs in the second. The team will hope that his good round continues and he helps the team with his all-round performances.

Pitch Report: The pitch at the DY Patil Stadium has been batting friendly but in the last match between Delhi and Lucknow the pitch appeared to have slowed down. The spinner of both sides got help from the pitch. The dew seems to affect the encounters on the ground, so the captain winning the toss will look to field first in the match.
