Umran Malik has been expensive for SunRisers Hyderabad thus far in the present season. Here is our prediction for SRH’s playing XI vs CSK – SunRisers Hyderabad will meet the Chennai Super Kings in their IPL 2023 match on Friday at MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. SRH will be looking for their batting unit to click, and it will be up to captain Aiden Markram to rise to the occasion. If Hyderabad are to upset CSK’s applecart at Chepauk, the other hitters in the lineup must step up. The loss of wickets in the powerplay has hampered the Sunrisers, and head coach Brian Lara stated following the loss to MI that someone in the middle order needs to bat deep and finish games.
In the Hyderabad lineup, the impressive Harry Brook will be the man to watch, and if he gets going, he may be a bother for the CSK bowlers. He had impressed with his first century against the Kolkata Knight Riders, but this season, consistency has been his adversary.
Washington Sundar, a local youngster who plays for SRH, hopes to get a game and perform well in front of his home crowd. He’s been inconsistent, and the bowling unit’s inconsistency has damaged their prospects.
SRH have dropped Umran Malik from their playing XI in their previous encounter against Mumbai Indians. This season, the right-arm bowler has taken five wickets in four games at an economy rate of more than 11. He might have to rewarm the bench.
Predicted SunRisers Hyderabad Playing XI vs Chennai Super Kings:
Aiden Markram (c), Mayank Agarwal, Harry Brook, Rahul Tripathi, Aiden Markram (wk), Abhishek Sharma, Washington Sundar, Marco Jansen, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Mayank Markande, T Natarajan
