Three-time Indian Premier League (IPL) champions Chennai Super Kings (CSK) will be seen back in action when they will be facing the Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in the 14th match of the ongoing IPL 2020. Although both teams have managed to win just one game so far, the SRH will be entering the match with a much-need impetus on their side after a thumping win over the Delhi Capitals (DC).
Owing to the brilliant bowling display from Rashid Khan and T Natarajan, SRH managed to win their first game after suffering losses against RCB and KKR. While their bowling unit has been going through a decent for, the onus will be on captain David Warner and his opening partner Jonny Bairstow to deliver the goods at the top of the order. With the likes of Manish Pandey and Kane Williamson looking great in the middle, SRH can be a team to beat for CSK.

However, facing CSK also isn’t going to be easy for SRH as the MS Dhoni-led franchise will introspect after losses against DC and RR, and would be hoping to correct their deficiencies. However, they have to be on their toes against an in-form Rashid Khan with both sides seeking a morale-boosting win on Friday.
Let us take you all to the Probable Fantasy XI you can create with the following tips:-
Wicket-Keepers
With none of the players having much of a practice, Jonny Bairstow seems to be a better pick as he has been known for making a strong comeback and he will be much more effective on slow pitches this season. However, for CSK, MS Dhoni will be keeping the wickets as he is known for playing match-winning knocks, but in order to maintain the balance of the IPL Fantasy XI, Bairstow seems better pick.
Batsmen
Shane Watson, David Warner, Manish Pandey, Ambati Rayudu, and Faf du Plessis have always been the prime contenders for the fantasy cricket. Even, Ruturaj Gaikwad can also be added in fantasy cricket and that will depend on the balance of the squad. Apart from them, there are some useful batsmen in the line-ups as well, like Kane Williamson, and Murali Vijay (if he plays).

All-rounders
There are some really reliable all-rounders in both the teams but citing the slow pitch in Dubai, Sam Curran, Ravindra Jadeja, and Abhishek Sharma seems to be the perfect fit. Apart from them, the good all-rounder for IPL fantasy cricket is Mohammad Nabi.
Bowlers
Both the teams don’t have decent bowling line-ups but they have managed to do a decent job. Bowlers like Rashid Khan, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Deepak Chahar, and Piyush Chawla become the obvious choices for the IPL Fantasy XI on the sticky track of Dubai. Apart from them, some crucial bowlers can be like, Josh Hazlewood, and Khaleel Ahmed
