The Mahendra Singh Dhoni-led side is languishing down at the bottom of the IPL standing after slumping to two back-to-back defeats.


CSK kickstarted their campaign at the 13th season of the lucrative T20 tournament with a comfortable five-wicket win over defending champions Mumbai Indians in the tournament opener.


However, the Chennai-based franchise failed to capitalise on the same and suffered a 16-run defeat and a 44-run loss at the hands of the Rajasthan Royals and Delhi Capitals in their next two clashes.


Sunrisers Hyderabad, on the other hand, too have just one win hand from their first three clashes. The Warner-led side slumped to a 10-run and seven-wicket defeat at the hands of RCB and Kolkata Knight Riders, respectively before they swept aside Delhi Capitals by 15 runs to open their account.


Both sides will now look to turn the tables for themselves and desperate to clinch a win in the upcoming match in order to move up in the points table.


Talking about head-to-head record between the two sides is concerned, the Chennai-based franchise hold a big edge over SRH going into the clash.
