Sunrisers Hyderabad will play their second match of IPL 2021 against Royal Challengers Bangalore at MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai tonight.
The Orange Army lost their tournament opener to the Kolkata Knight Riders, thereby extending their losing streak at Chepauk to four games. The Hyderabad-based franchise have never won an IPL match at MA Chidambaram Stadium.
Meanwhile, Royal Challengers Bangalore beat defending champions Mumbai Indians at this ground last week. Virat Kohli's men will be high on confidence heading into the battle against Hyderabad.
The pitch at Chepauk has slowed down a bit. In the previous match at this venue, the Mumbai Indians defended 31 runs off the last five overs against the Kolkata Knight Riders. Anything above 165 should be a defendable total at MA Chidambaram Stadium.
