Battle of the Southern stars - Welcome to the Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium in Hyderabad, where the Orange Army of Sunrisers Hyderabad is set to defend its fortress against the five-time champions, Chennai Super Kings. With both teams currently locked at 4 points each in the mid-table scramble, this evening’s clash is more than just a game, it’s a pivotal battle for momentum as we approach the midpoint of the season.

SRH looking for back-to-back wins - The Sunrisers have blown hot and cold so far this season and their charismatic top order has been a bit erratic. However, they have managed to find at least a batter or two to play a big knock in every game thus far and they will be hoping that they are able to be more clinical as a batting unit. After a dominant victory over Rajasthan in their last home outing, the Sunrisers aim to use their raw bowling power, spearheaded by breakout debutants Praful Hinge and Sakib Hussain, to dismantle the visiting giants.

Ishan Kishan: I think we would have batted first. Looks like a good wicket so we want to put up a good total. You have to bat for the team and not for individual performances. We just have to take it game by game and it doesn't matter where we are right now because it's a long tournament. I think the ball is going to move a bit in the beginning and the batters have to watch the ball and play well. Dilshan Madushanka comes in for Harsh Dubey for more swing upfront.

Ruturaj Gaikwad: We are going to bowl first. Looks a really good track, won't change much so we look to chase. Good to be up from the bottom. From the second game we started doing the basics right. The key is to be consistent. Last game I felt Noor bowled really well and good to have him back on track and even Anshul bowling really well at the death. In your language it looks like a belter but we got to assess it.

Chennai Super Kings have won the toss and have opted to field

The captain of Chennai Super Kings - Ruturaj Gaikwad says it looks like a good track and they will look to chase. Adds that it is good to get a couple of wins, and they have started to do a few things right, and the key is to stay consistent and do the basics right. Mentions that in the last game, Noor Ahmad bowled really well and it's good to have him back on track and also gives credit to Anshul Kamboj for the way he bowled at the death. On the surface, Gaikwad says that it looks like a belter and says that they will try to restrict SRH to as low a total as possible.

The skipper of Sunrisers Hyderabad - Ishan Kishan says they were looking to bat first and put up a solid total on the board, as batting has been their strength. Ishan says that they just play for the side and look to play scoring strokes rather than just scoring for individuals. Kishan reckons that their position in the table doesn't matter much now, as this is a long tournament and they just need to take one game at a time. Kishan informs that they have brought in Dilshan Madushanka for Harsh Dubey, which will give them another swing bowling option, he adds.
