Chennai need 165 runs to win from their 20 overs to bring their campaign back on track Garg scores his maiden 50 What an opportunity for two young men on such a stage with the team in trouble. — Harsha Bhogle (@bhogleharsha) October 2, 2020 Hyderabad are 146/5 after 18 overs. Hyderabad are 133/4 after 17 overs. Watch, jump, catch - Faf special! Another day, another catch and another @faf1307 trademark. He just keeps catching them the same way over and over again. Magnificent.https://t.co/b3pf9LnNIM #Dream11IPL #CSKvSRH — IndianPremierLeague (@IPL) October 2, 2020 Hyderabad are 100/4 after 15 overs. Most people tend to miss an important facet of Faf’s fielding outside of power-play overs. He runs from one end to the other between overs. It’s a good 150-160 metre run. And then he does what he does. 🙇♂️🙌 #CSK — Aakash Chopra (@cricketaakash) October 2, 2020 Huge TWO wickets as Warner and Williamson depart one after the other.#SRH 69/4 after 11 overs.#Dream11IPL pic.twitter.com/pJYUWbmIYk — IndianPremierLeague (@IPL) October 2, 2020 Hyderabad are 69/4 after 11 overs.

Will be curious to see their composition, especially the @ChennaiIPL batting and the @SunRisers balance. #SRH need another bowling option and #CSK need a greater push from the top order. #CSKvsSRH — Harsha Bhogle (@bhogleharsha) October 2, 2020 Hello and welcome to Match 14 of #Dream11IPL.@ChennaiIPL will take on David Warner led @SunRisers.

Apart from their tournament opener against arch-rivals Mumbai, the three-time winners have not managed to get anything right in their campaign so far as they suffered back-to-back losses against Rajasthan and Delhi respectively as a result of which they are languishing at the bottom of the points table. The 'Orange Army' on the other hand finally managed to get a win under their belt when they overcame an in-form Delhi outfit on Monday night. Heading into that particular contest, the Shreyas Iyer-led side were undefeated in the tournament with two consecutive wins. However, David Warner & Co. had other ideas and they made sure that Delhi did not end up registering a hat-trick of wins. Prior to that contest, the 2016 champions had lost their first two matches against southern rivals Bangalore and Kolkata respectively. Head to head record As per the Chennai vs Hyderabad head to head record, the two teams have competed against each other on 12 occasions. The record further indicates that MS Dhoni and co hold a superior record over the 2018 winners. Across all 12 matches, Chennai hold the edge over Hyderabad by winning nine and losing just three. Players to watch out for Shane Watson has enjoyed the most success among the current Chennai batsmen in all matches against Hyderabad. He has scored 523 runs against the franchise at an average of 37.35. Watson is followed by Ambati Rayudu (447 runs) and skipper MS Dhoni himself with 395 runs. Among the active Hyderabad batsmen against Chennai, skipper David Warner (445 runs) and his deputy Kane Williamson (235 runs) top the run-getters' list. Meanwhile, Chennai all-rounder Dwayne Bravo has been the most successful bowler from either side with 17 wickets. Weather forecast & pitch report According to Accuweather, the Chennai vs Hyderabad weather forecast indicates favourable conditions for cricketing action. The temperature is expected to be around 31°C during the course of the match. Humidity levels throughout the match are likely to hover around 63%. Furthermore, as per the Chennai vs Hyderabad weather forecast, there will be no cloud cover during the entire match and one can expect the entire 40 overs of an action-packed evening at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium. The pitch at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium is known for assisting batsmen in the shortest format of the game. Across all Dream11 IPL 2020 matches played at the venue, the average first innings score has been 179. As evidenced from the recent match results of the tournament, the captain winning the toss is likely to bat first since the Chennai vs Hyderabad pitch report indicates that batting is more favourable upfront.
