IPL 2021, Match 44: Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Chennai Super Kings – Toss Report

For Match 44 of IPL 2021, Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) will meet the high-flying Chennai Super Kings (CSK) at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium on Thursday.

The two teams are placed on opposite ends of the points table. With 8 wins and just 2 losses, CSK are sitting at the top; should they register a win on Thursday, it will ensure them a playoff berth, and also strengthen their claim for a finish in the top two.

Kane Williamson’s side, on the other hand, is languishing at the bottom of the table with just 2 wins in 10 matches. But, they managed to break their five-game losing streak three days ago versus Rajasthan Royals.

On the head-to-head front, CSK are well and clear of SRH with 11 wins and 4 defeats. MS Dhoni’s team prevailed comfortably in their previous contest against SRH – when David Warner was still the captain – by 7 wickets. Ruturaj Gaikwad struck 75 off 44 balls and Faf du Plessis scored 56 off 38 helping CSK chase down 172 with ease in Delhi.
