In the 18th match of IPL 2024, Sunrisers Hyderabad will be up against Chennai Super Kings at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad. It is the second home game for Pat Cummins and co. and they would be looking to replicate the same dominating performance they delivered in their first home game of the season against Mumbai Indians.

Chennai Super Kings, on the other hand, are coming into this game on the back of a loss after starting with two wins. They are a strong unit and have almost all bases covered, so it would be interesting to see how they tackle the Orange Army in Hyderabad. 

So, with both teams looking to grab those crucial two points from this game, let's see how the surface will behave in what is expected to be cracking contest.

Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium Pitch Report

The pitch in the first game at the venue this season was a belter and SRH ended up smashing 277, which is the highest-ever total in the IPL history. In reply, Mumbai Indians also ended up scoring 246, which speaks a lot about the nature of the pitch and it promises to be another belter of a track.

The seamers are not likely to get any significant movement off the pitch but there is a history of spinners getting some help on Hyderabad track, so we might see seamers playing a bit more role in this game compared to the first match of the season at this ground.

Also, dew might play a factor later in the game, and the captain that wins the toss, will most likely elect to chase as the pitch will remain same throughout the course of 40 overs.
