CSK vs SRH Dream11 Match Prediction FREE TEAMS Today IPL Match 2 October

CSK vs SRH Dream11 Prediction: After a week-long break, Chennai Super Kings will be back in action today at Dubai. They will have a challenge to tackle as Sunrisers Hyderabad are coming off fresh from their first win of the season against Delhi Capitals. Both the teams are in similar situations with a win from first 3 games this season. We will preview CSK vs SRH Dream11 contest.

Chennai Super Kings had to suffer a convincing defeat against Delhi Capitals in their last match at the same venue. Bowling first, CSK failed to pick up early wickets as openers put DC in a strong position with a stand of 94 runs. They did manage to pull things back in the second half of the innings but 175 runs were still very much above par on that surface. Piyush Chawla had two while Sam Curran picked up one wicket. In reply, not a single CSK batsman was able to play with freedom and lost wickets regularly. Only Faf du Plessis continued his form with an innings of 43 runs as CSK were restricted to mere 131 runs in their chase.

After losing first two matches of the season, Sunrisers Hyderabad finally booked their points against Delhi Capitals in their third match. Batting first, David Warner & Jonny Bairstow were not in their usual aggressive mode and started cautiously against the new ball. But as the ball got softer, the pair started to find their touch back. David Warner made 45 while Jonny Bairstow got out after making 53 runs. Kane Williamson played a blinder in his first match this season with 41 off just 26 balls as SRH posted 162 runs on the board. In reply, bowlers executed their plans brilliantly as Delhi batsmen were never allowed to cut loose. Rashid Khan was back among the wickets with a magnificent spell of 4-0-14-3 while Bhuvneshwar Kumar took a couple. In the end, SRH won the match by 15 runs.

In head-to-head comparisons, Chennai Super Kings have dominated Sunrisers Hyderabad in the matches between both the sides. CSK have won 10 matches while only 3 games have gone SRH’s way in a total of 13 encounters. In last 5 matches as well, CSK have won 4 of them. CSK won their 3^rd IPL title by beating SRH in the 2018 final at Mumbai.  

Pitch and Conditions

This match will be played on a fresh surface at Dubai International Cricket Stadium. Usually, we have seen a lot less turn during the first match on a particular pitch. So, this should remain good for the duration of 40 overs. Most of the matches this year have won by the teams batting first, so not long before captains start to put away the idea of bowling first on these UAE pitches.

CSK vs SRH Dream11 Team Prediction

Let’s take a look at the squad news and CSK Vs SRH Dream11 predictions for today’s encounter.

Chennai Super Kings Team News

• Chennai Super Kings are playing after a break and they were relieved when Ambati Rayudu was declared fit for the match.
• Shane Watson and Ruturaj Gaikwad are likely to open the batting today as Ambati Rayudu will replace out of sorts Murli Vijay in the XI.
• Faf du Plessis is their in-form player but is in serious need of some support from the other end. Kedar Jadhav & MS Dhoni along with all-rounders Ravindra Jadeja & Sam Curran will form a decent lower-middle order.
• Spinners have been disappointing for them and Imran Tahir may come into consideration today. If they decide to go with the same combination, then Piyush Chawla will accompany the fast-bowlers Deepak Chahar and Josh Hazlewood in CSK vs SRH Dream11 predictions.

Sunrisers Hyderabad Team News

• Sunrisers Hyderabad are likely to field an unchanged XI from their last match. They looked like having a perfect balance in both the departments.
• David Warner and Jonny Bairstow were bit circumspect during the last match looking at the conditions but they will be back to their explosive best if situation demands.
• The inclusion of Kane Williamson has made their middle order more formidable along with Manish Pandey. Indian youngsters Abdul Samad, Abhishek Sharma and Priyam Garg will have to take the responsibility of finishing the innings for them.
• Experienced campaigners Rashid Khan and Bhuvneshwar Kumar were back to their best in the last match while T Natarajan and Khaleel Ahmed also bowled well.

Captain Picks

For Small Leagues

• David Warner has played well without getting his usual high scores so far. But we all know how good a player he is in limited overs cricket. Being a left-hander, he can easily navigate CSK spinners in the middle overs. He scored 45 runs in the last match against Delhi Capitals.
• Rashid Khan is the biggest match-winner in bowling department in terms of T20 cricket. He has always been economical but now he is back taking wickets after the last match. He can bamboozle any batting lineup but especially so when batsmen are struggling for runs as is the case with CSK.
• Faf du Plessis is easily the best pick from Chennai Super Kings today. He has scored 173 runs from 3 innings and sitting comfortably at 3^rd position in top run scorers. He has been one of the underrated cricketers to play for CSK but this might be the year when he will get all 14 matches. Hence, a best opportunity to leave his impression on the leaderboards.

For Grand Leagues

• Kane Williamson played his first match this year against Delhi Capitals and straight away looked like a player in golden touch. He was hitting everything from the middle and made a quick-fire 41. Looking at his consistency, he can be a very good pick for the grand leagues today.
• Sam Curran has remained among the wickets in all 3 matches so far and also contributed with some runs in the batting scheme of things. There is a high probability that he continues to pick up wickets in the death overs when batsmen would be going after the bowling.
• Ambati Rayudu is coming back after an injury break but still remains one of the reliable grand league picks today. He was man of the match in CSK’s only win this year when he played a decisive knock of 71 runs against Mumbai Indians in the opening match.  

Who will win CSK vs SRH Today Match Prediction?

As per our Today Match Predictions, this should be an interesting match as both the teams are having their weaknesses. If Chennai Super Kings are to continue their play-offs record this year as well, they need to fine tune their performances very soon.
