Pat Cummins is leading the side extremely well, as the 2016 IPL champions came inch close of pulling off a miraculous chase against Kolkata Knight Riders, before breaking the IPL record by registering the highest team total in tournament's history against Mumbai Indians and then lost to Gujarat Titans in their previous outing.

Ruturaj Gaikwad has started his reign as CSK skipper on a bright note by winning the first two matches of the franchise with ease, but came short in their previous match against Delhi Capitals, as the latter's bowling proved to be too good on the day for ther CSK batters.

 

SRH VS CSK IPL 2024 Match 18 - Match Prediction

The match is evenly poised as both the sides are highly potent with their bat, but what gives CSK an edge over SRH is their excellent Indian contingents, as the likes of Ravindra Jadeja, Shivam Dube, Ruturaj Gaikwad, Ajinkya Rahane, and MS Dhoni give the five-time champions a stable batting order, and have the Sri Lankan duo of Pathirana and Theekshana to provide economic and wicket taking spells.

The wicket of Hyderabad always proves to be a batting paradise and the side batting first can expect a much better advantage in terms of winning. However, the pitch is a graveyard for bowlers, and for that reason, even the chasing side can fancy themselves, as the pitch won't be taking much of a change during the course of the match.

The par-score for side batting first will be 225 and fans can expect CSK to grab the two points as SRH are highly relying on their overseas players, and the Orange Army probably have the best lot of overseas players amongst the 10 participating teams. However, their Indian players don't offer much promise and will be up against arguably the greatest all-rounder in the history of the league, Sir Ravindra Jadeja.
