IPL 2020: CSK vs SRH head-to-head stats and numbers you need to know before Match 14
The Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) lost to the Royal Challengers Bangalore and the Kolkata Knight Riders in their first two fixtures of IPL 2020. It seemed like the Orange Army were too reliant on their opening batsmen. Hence, to strengthen the batting department, Hyderabad included Kane Williamson in the playing XI for the game against the Delhi Capitals.
The change had an immediate impact as the Sunrisers got off the mark in IPL 2020. The David Warner-led outfit will be keen on continuing their winning momentum against IPL 2019 runners-up Chennai Super Kings (CSK).
MS Dhoni's team have had a disappointing season so far. They beat the Mumbai Indians in match number 1, but the Delhi Capitals and the Rajasthan Royals recorded convincing victories over Chennai in the next two games. After a 7-day break, CSK will look to make a fresh start to their IPL 2020 campaign.
