Hyderabad, April 17 Five-time champions Chennai Super Kings (CSK) will face 2016 winners Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in the 27th match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 to be played at Rajiv Gandhi Stadium in Hyderabad on Saturday.
Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) currently sit fourth on the points table, having secured two wins from five matches.

With the advantage of playing at home, SRH will be looking to build on those positives and add two valuable points to their tally.

They’ve responded well with consecutive wins over KKR and Delhi Capitals (DC). Despite this resurgence, CSK remain eighth in the standings, and the five-time champions will aim to maintain the momentum and move higher up the table with another strong performance.
SRH and CSK have faced each other 22 times in the Indian Premier League (IPL), in which CSK have a big edge as the team has won 15 matches, while SRH has emerged victorious on just seven occasions.
