Chennai Super Kings vs Sunrisers Hyderabad Betting Tips
Chennai Super Kings will face Sunrisers Hyderabad in match 23 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2021 in Delhi on Wednesday.
The home team in this fixture are the in-form side in the competition as they’ve won four games in a row and registered a thumping 69-run win against another in-form team in Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in their previous outing.
The team management will be hoping to see the players continue their good run and produce another impressive performance on Tuesday.
On the other hand, the Sunrisers will be coming in this match extremely low-on-confidence after suffering a narrow defeat against Delhi Capitals in their previous match, where the game was eventually decided in a one-over eliminator.
The team management will be hoping to see the players produce a much better display in the match against a formidable unit.
Both teams have competed 14 times in the history of IPL where Chennai have a far superior record with 10 wins compared to Hyderabad’s four victories.
In the two matches between the teams played during the IPL 2020, it was the Sunrisers who came out on top in the first by seven runs whereas the Super Kings won the return fixture by a 20-run margin.

Our Tipster’s Angle
Both teams are coming in this match in a very contrasting form where Chennai have won four in a row after suffering a defeat in their first game of the competition whereas the Sunrisers have suffered four defeats in five outings.
Looking at the form of both teams as well as the overall strength on the paper, the prediction is for the Super Kings to secure another win on Wednesday.
Tip 1: Suresh Raina eye a notable score against Hyderabad.
Left-hander has so far struggled to put in a notable score for Chennai Super Kings. Experienced middle-order batsman will be looking to get back amongst the runs against Sunrisers Hyderabad.
The 34-year old will take heart from the fact that he has a decent record against Hyderabad in the Indian Premier League. In 13 matches, Raina has accumulated 415 runs at an average of 37.73 with three half-centuries to his name.
Being a vital cog in Chennai’s batting lineup, we are expecting Suresh Raina to score 30 runs or more in this [email protected]
Tip 2: Jonny Bairstow seeks to continue run-scoring form against Chennai
There is no doubt that Jonny Bairstow has been a prolific run-scorer for Hyderabad this season. Currently, he is leading run-scorer for Hyderabad in the competition.
The 31-year old has accumulated 211 runs in five innings at an average of 52.75 with two half-centuries to his name. Given his rich vein of form for Hyderabad, we are expecting Jonny Bairstow to score 35 runs or more in this [email protected].
Conclusion
Expect Chennai Super Kings to beat Sunrisers Hyderabad and retain top spot in the league table.
- Suresh Raina to score 30 runs or more in this contest- Chennai Super [email protected].
