Match preview

Sunrisers Hyderabad gained only their second win in ten IPL matches this season on Monday but bookmakers expect their bubble to be burst by table-topping Chennai Super Kings in Sharjah.

The Super Kings' record, eight wins and two defeats, is a mirror image of the Sunrisers' and, already assured of a playoff spot, they are no bigger than 8-15 to prove the league table correct.

Hyderabad's decision to drop David Warner and replace him with Jason Roy paid off against Rajasthan as the England opener scored 60 off 42 balls to help his side to a comfortable seven-wicket win.

Roy should be backed to outperform his teammates again as Chennai have taken only two wickets in the first six overs of their last two matches (and one of those was a run-out).

Their last game in Sharjah featured opening stands of 111 for Bangalore and 72 for the Super Kings so the England man could cash in early on.
