The 44th fixture of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2021 sees Sunrisers Hyderabad take on Chennai Super Kings at Sharjah Cricket Stadium on September 30 (Thursday). The match is scheduled to begin at 7:30 pm IST.

Teams Status

Sunrisers Hyderabad

Sunrisers Hyderabad made the big call of dropping off their captain and legend David Warner in their last game, against Rajasthan Royals, and the decision paid an instant dividend.

His replacement, Alex Hales, showed the Hyderabad faithful what they had been missing by contributing 60 off 42 in a successful chase of a 165-run target.

It’s too late to salvage anything out of the season but Hyderabad has given an early indication that they will not just show up to make up the numbers in what fixtures they have left in the season.

Warner, meanwhile, has played his last game of the tournament and probably even for the franchise.

Chennai Super Kings

Chennai sits pretty at the top of the points table, with by far the best net run rate and also a game in hand, which they will use up in this fixture.

The MS Dhoni-led side is unbeaten in the UAE leg, winning all three of their matches so far to once again emerge as the team to beat in the tournament.

In their last game, a final-ball thriller of a win against Kolkata, they were stretched to the limits but got the job done. Their loaded batting lineup has very few flaws and is beginning to prove a difference against opponents.

What Do the Sportsbooks Say?

Brand	Sunrisers Hyderabad	Chennai Super Kings

Tipster’s Angle

Tip: CSK to win @ 1.536

Pound for pound, there is no comparison between these two sides. CSK is easily the far more superior unit. Their superiority is reflected in the short odds (1.536) but that does not deter us from backing them to win this one. The play can be found on 22Bet.

Tip: Highest opening partnership – CSK @ 1.80

Hyderabad’s Jason Roy is a quality batsman but is a risk-taker and at times throws his bat at everything. His partner Wriddhiman Saha is good but has yet to play notable innings in the UAE log. On the other hand, CSK open with former South Africa captain Faf du Plessis and Ruturaj Gaikwad, the latter of whom has been in superb form of late. The pair are also fresh from providing a 74-run stand in the previous game. On this evidence, we back CSK to have a greater opening partnership at odds of 1.80 with 22Bet.

Conclusion

CSK has won the last two meetings between these two sides. If all goes as it’s supposed to, they’d be celebrating a hat-trick of wins by the end of this fixture.
