CSK skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad has won the toss and elected to bowl first against SRH. Ishan Kishan says he would have batted first anyway, and adds that Dilshan Madushanka comes in place of Harsh Dubey, to give his side "more swinging options".

While there is no clear favourite between the two on paper as they have been in similar form in the tournament, Google hands CSK a 47 per cent chance of winning against SRH. While there is momentum, pedigree, and a sound combination with the Super Kings, the SunRisers will enjoy home-ground advantage with an explosive batting line-up.

The good news is that there is little to no chance of rain in Hyderabad for today's match. With a maximum temperature of 40 degrees Celsius and a minimum of 26 degrees, expect sweltering conditions with players needing frequent hydration to avoid cramps.

The first ball is scheduled to be bowled at 7:30pm IST, with the toss slated for 7pm.
