But considering the team balance SRH possesses this season it’s not gonna be as easy a victory as it has been.

Uppal’s pitch has recently turned into a high-scoring venue. Here’s where the highest score in the history of IPL has been hit.

Players to Watch Out For:
CSK – For CSK it will be Daryl Mitchell. He has not yet gotten set to the rhythm i.e. he has a wide range of shots and can exploit spinners in the middle. But he has not lived up to the expectation. His strike rate is a reason for concern for CSK and he needs to play even more dynamically which suits the situation. Hope he’ll deliver today. Another one will be Jadeja his batting average hit snag since IPL 2022. Yes, he was the hero in the IPL 2023 final. But his highest score since the 2022 IPL is 26. His batting prowess is a key factor in the victory of CSK.
SRH – For SRH it will be Mayank Agarwal. His teammates’ batting prowesses cover his poor performances. He has to put up a good performance and should ease the pressure a little bit for the players who come down the order. The other one will be Abhishek Sharma. He has a good record against CSK and along with his current form, he is once again set to trouble the CSK bowlers.
Conclusion
It is going to be a contest of towering sixes between the power-hitters and the crowd has a massive chance of witnessing yet another high-scoring thriller. Let’s wait and watch who’ll be emerging victorious in the MRC Nagar Derby.
