Sunrisers Hyderabad will host Chennai Super Kings in the 33rd match of the Indian Premier League 2019. Both teams last met in the final of IPL 2018 where Chennai came victorious to lift their third IPL title. Things have changed since then as David Warner has returned to play for Hyderabad while Chennai’s batting isn’t as fired up as last year. SRH must be filled with emotion to take revenge of last year, where Chennai beat them on all four occasions when they played against each other. Wednesday’s clash between these two heavyweights will be a mouthwatering contest and it is hard to say who will come on top.
Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH)
After starting on a good note, where SRH won three out of four games, their campaign has derailed badly. They have lost their previous three games and are sitting at sixth place on the points table. Hyderabad’s last game was against Delhi Capitals, where they couldn’t chase a modest total of 156 runs.

There can be a few changes in Hyderabad’s team in the next game. Ricky Bhui can make way for Manish Pandey to play. Kane Williamson has returned in the playing XI, which makes their top-order one to watch out for.
Probable XI: David Warner, Jonny Bairstow (WK), Kane Williamson (C), Manish Pandey, Vijay Shankar, Deepak Hooda, Abhishek Sharma, Rashid Khan, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Sandeep Sharma, Khaleel Ahmed.
Chennai Super Kings (CSK)
CSK is one team who finds a way to win the games from every situation. In their last game, they were jolted by some early blows but Suresh Raina came as the man to rescue their ship against Kolkata Knight Riders. Raina scored his first fifty in IPL 2019 which is a happy sign for CSK team management.

Chennai is unlikely to make any changes in their winning eleven. Faf du Plessis is playing well despite failure in the last game. Shane Watson is the only player who is yet to play match-winning innings. But he is capable enough to turn the table in no time.
Probable XI: Shane Watson, Faf du Plessis, Suresh Raina, Ambati Rayudu, Kedar Jadhav, MS Dhoni (C/WK), Ravindra Jadeja, Mitchell Santner, Deepak Chahar, Shardul Thakur, Imran Tahir.
