The Sunrisers Hyderabad will face the Chennai Super Kings on Saturday in match 27 of the 2026 Indian Premier League (IPL) at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium.

Sunrisers Hyderabad Preview

Sunrisers Hyderabad has enjoyed a mixed run of form but will come into this clash hoping to claim back to back wins for the first time this campaign. They come into this clash on the back of a comfortable 57-run win over the Rajasthan Royals. Two debutant bowlers, Praful Hinge and Sakib Hussain, made the night easy as they each picked up a four-wicket haul. SRH will now aim to build on the momentum as they sit fourth in the table standings with four points winning twice and losing 3 matches.
