Match 23 of the Indian Premier League (IPL 2021) will see the Chennai Super Kings take on Sunrisers Hyderabad at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi on Wednesday.
Three-time champions Chennai Super Kings are on a roll in IPL 2021. Since losing their first game of the tournament, CSK have won four on the trot. MS Dhoni and co. will head into Wednesday's fixture on the back of a 69-run win over Royal Challengers Bangalore. Riding on the exploits of Faf du Plessis and Deepak Chahar, Chennai Super Kings have impressed in the powerplay overs with both the bat and ball. Given the balance and depth they possess, CSK will fancy a win to kickstart the Delhi leg of their IPL 2021 campaign.
However, the Super Kings will come across a wounded Sunrisers Hyderabad side who are rooted to the bottom of the IPL 2021 points table. With only one win in five games, the Sunrisers will be desperate to return to winning ways and launch a comeback in IPL 2021. Although their top-order trio of Jonny Bairstow, David Warner, and Kane Williamson have excelled of late, their middle-order woes have resurfaced from time to time, costing them a few games this season. The onus will be on Vijay Shankar and Manish Pandey, with the latter likely to make a return to the playing XI, to deliver the goods in the middle overs. With Rashid Khan leading a decent bowling attack, one cannot write the Sunrisers off at any cost.
Chennai Super Kings will undoubtedly start as favorites, given their recent run of form. However, MS Dhoni and co. will be wary of what the Sunrisers and Rashid Khan, in particular, are capable of in the shortest format. With two valuable points up for grabs, we should be in for a cracker to kickstart the Delhi leg of IPL 2021.

Pitch Report
Although the pitch at the Arun Jaitley Stadium should be a good one to bat on, there should be ample help on offer for the bowlers. With some grass expected to cover the surface, the pacers should get the ball to swing and bounce early on. The spinners should also get some purchase off the surface, keeping the batsmen on their toes in the middle overs. With dew likely to play a role in the second innings, both teams will prefer to chase upon winning the toss. 160-170 should be the par score at the IPL venue.
