CSK vs SRH IPL 2024 pitch report: Chennai Super Kings host Sunrisers Hyderabad in the 46th match of the Indian Premier League 2024 as the two teams go head-to-head at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. The batting might of SRH now turns to Chepauk for CSK's second home game in a row.
Chennai are playing three games on trot at home but their first outing at Chepauk ended in a heartbreaking loss to Lucknow Super Giants when LSG chased down the highest target at the venue - 211. They would be hoping for better returns at home as CSK are no longer in the top four and are hardly winning away from home.
Meanwhile, SRH were hammered away by Royal Challengers Bengaluru at home as they failed to chase down 207 as their big batting had a rare off day. SRH would want to get away from that off day and return to the winning ways at the slow turner of Chepauk.
