Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) and Chennai Super Kings (CSK) face off in a key IPL 2026 mid-table match at Hyderabad's Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium.

CSK, recovering from a slow start with back-to-back wins, continue without injured MS Dhoni and Khaleel Ahmed. Both teams seek consistency, with SRH aiming to leverage home conditions and CSK looking for their first away victory this season.
