CSK vs SRH Live Prediction

2026-05-18 22:15:34

SRH Score Under 82.5 in 10 Overs @.1.85 (Stake.ac)

SRH score at the end of 6 overs is 45/1, a balanced one for both teams it is a 50-50 game at the moment, but CSK will look to squeeze the scoring rate even further and keep SRH batters at bay, with Noor Ahmad and Akeal Hosein on a slightly slower surface with the ball gripping both of them will be hard to score off and we predict SRH score to be under 83 runs in 10 overs.

2026-05-18 22:00:32

SRH Score Under 49.5 in 6 Overs @ 1.85 (Stake.ac)

A good start from CSK with the ball defending a target of 182 runs, they have reduced SRH to 19/1 in 3 overs. The conditions are much better for bowling where CSK's bowlers are swing the ball well and SRH are struggling at the moment. We predict a low scoring powerplay for SRh and their score to be under 50 runs in 6 overs.

2026-05-18 20:56:06

CSK Score Over 188.5 in 20 Overs @ 1.85 (Stake.ac)

After a low scoring period between 10-12 where they lost two batters in quick succession, CSK are back on track with the duo of Dube and Brevis hitting form at the right time, both batters look in good touch at the moment. With 6 overs to go they will be eyeing to score 60-80 runs and we predict CSK to finish strong and their score to be around 200 run mark.

2026-05-18 20:07:52

CSK Score Under 89.5 in 10 Overs @ 1.85 (Stake.ac)

A typical Chepauk track where CSK dominated the powerplay early on and SRH bounced back with a couple of quick wickets. Their score at the end of 6 overs is 57/2, it is holding a touch and both Gaikwad, Karthik Sharma are nudging around trying to asses the pitch. We predict CSK to score at 6-6.5 runs in the next four overs and their score to be under 90 runs in 10 overs.

We are in the final leg of the Indian Premier League 2026. The competition has heated up, with eight of the ten teams fighting hard to finish in the Top 4 and reach the playoffs. It is a do-or-die battle for the Chennai Super Kings as they take on the Sunrisers Hyderabad in the 63rd match at home. The Super Kings have put themselves in trouble after their big loss against the Lucknow Super Giants. The Sunrisers also lost to the Gujarat Titans and aim for a strong comeback.  

The Sunrisers Hyderabad have won seven out of 12 games this season. They have batted well and also enjoy a 3-1 advantage against the Chennai Super Kings in the last four games. They aim to capitalize on CSK's lack of consistency this season. The Super Kings head into this game under immense pressure. They have done well at home this season, winning four out of six games, but face a strong opposition. It is an important game for both teams, and we expect a tight contest.

Chennai Super Kings Preview

Just when things had started looking bright for Ruturaj Gaikwad and his team, with three consecutive wins, they suffered a 7-wicket loss against the Lucknow Super Giants. The bowling attack, which has struggled with consistency this season, again failed to defend a decent total due to poor line and length. With this loss, the side has dropped to 6th position on the points table. With just two games remaining, they need to win both by big margins to have a shot at the Top 4.  

Sanju Samson and Ruturaj Gaikwad have scored more than 750 runs between them, and the pair look forward to delivering a good start. Kartik Sharma top-scored with 71 in the last game and must play a strong hand in the middle order with Urvil Patel and Dewald Brevis. In the lower middle order, the team expects fireworks from Shivam Dube and Prashant Veer, who can take the team to a big total.  

The bowling attack must be on its toes in this contest as they are up against the most explosive batting lineup. Mukesh Choudhary and Spencer Johnson looked ineffective in the last game, and the team needs early strikes from them. Anshul Kamboj has been the pick of the bowlers with 19 wickets this season and must do well in the middle overs with Noor Ahmed. Shivam Dube and Gurjapneet Singh must do well in the supporting roles. 

Interesting Stats

  1. CSK has won four out of six games at this venue this season  
  2. Sanju Samson has made 450 runs this season at a strike rate of 164.23

Sanju Samson First Innings Runs Over 27.5 @ 1.83 (4rabet)  


CSK Over/Under Betting Tips

Ruturaj Gaikwad Total Runs 26.5 @ 1.85

Ruturaj Gaikwad averages 51.62 against SRH and also has one hundred and 8 fifties in 24 innings at Chepauk. If he gets past the powerplay, expect the CSK skipper to post a 50-plus score.

Sanju Samson Total Runs Over 27.5 @ 1.85

Samson has failed to convert his starts into big knocks in the last two matches where he has scored past 20 runs in quick time but couldn't score over 30. With this being a virtual knockout match, we back Samson to step up and score over 27 runs.

Chennai Super Kings Predicted Playing XI:

Ruturaj Gaikwad (c), Sanju Samson (wk), Urvil Patel, Kartik Sharma, Dewald Brevis, Shivam Dube, Prashant Veer, Anshul Kamboj, Noor Ahmad, Spencer Johnson, Mukesh Choudhary, Gurjapneet Singh (Impact Player)

Sunrisers Hyderabad Preview

Pat Cummins and his players must overcome the disastrous performance in the last game against the Gujarat Titans. They were bowled out for 86 in the run chase, losing by 82 runs. They have otherwise enjoyed a good season and sit 3rd on the points table. A win here will put them in a strong position and nearly guarantee a playoff berth. Cummins expects a strong comeback from his players in this game and to secure a berth in the next round.  

Abhishek Sharma and Travis Head are in brilliant form and have made more than 800 runs between them this season. Heinrich Klaasen is the Orange Cap holder with 508 runs and must steer the innings in the middle order with Ishan Kishan and Smaran Ravichandran. Nitish Kumar Reddy, Sahil Arora, and Pat Cummins are good finishers, and the team expects a good show from them. 

The bowling attack hasn't been as good as the batting. Pat Cummins is the star bowler in the team and must strike early in the game with Nitish Kumar Reddy. Eshan Malinga has been the find of the season for the team with 16 wickets and needs to deliver good spells in the middle overs with Praful Hinge. The team expects strong performances from Shivang Kumar and Sakib Hussain in the supporting roles.  

Interesting Stats 

  1. Sunrisers Hyderabad have posted 200+ totals in 8 out of 12 games 
  2. Heinrich Klaasen has made 508 runs this season at an average of 50.80 

SRH Over/Under Betting Tips 

Abhishek Sharma First Innings Runs Over 30.5 @ 1.83 (4rabet)  


SRH Over/Under Betting Tips

Abhishek Sharma Total Runs Over 26.5 @ 1.85

Abhishek Sharma has scored 481 runs from 12 games at a strike rate of 209.13 this season. Has the ability to change the complexion of the game in a matter of few overs. He could be in for a big score on conditions that suit his style at Chennai.

Heinrich Klassen Total Runs Over 26.5 @ 1.85

Klassen is the leading run-scorer for SRH this season. Whether powerplay, middle overs or slog overs - Klaasen has batted with great maturity and it would not be a surprise if he breezes past another 30-plus score.

Sunrisers Hyderabad Predicted Playing XI:

Pat Cummins (c), Ishan Kishan (wk), Abhishek Sharma, Travis Head, Heinrich Klaasen, Smaran Ravichandran, Salil Arora, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Shivang Kumar, Praful Hinge, Eshan Malinga, Sakib Hussain (Impact Player)

MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai, is a good venue as it aids both the bowlers and the batsmen, a rarity on Indian surfaces. Batsmen must play to the ball's merit, as fast bowlers get some early assistance from the surface. The track is slow, and spinners have always enjoyed bowling on this surface. The average first-innings score this season is 189, and the team batting first would like to have 220 on the board.

Chennai Super Kings to win the coin toss @ 1.90

We back Chennai Super Kings to win the coin toss in today's match against Sunrisers Hyderabad.

Toss: To Bowl

The side chasing the score has won four out of six games this season at this venue. Defending scores are tough as the wicket is good to bat on throughout the game. Both captains will take a cue from the recent results here and bowl first upon winning the toss.

The Chennai Super Kings fight for their survival in this game. The bowling attack has let the team down on several occasions, and the side expects better performances from the bowlers at the start and in the death overs to win this game. The Sunrisers have an explosive batting lineup and variety in their bowling attack. It will be a close game, but the Sunrisers have an edge.
