Expert Match Prediction – Who will win today’s IPL match?
- First of all, with the CSK bat, the spin division is a major concern for SRH this season, and their Pacers aren’t doing very well either. CSK has high quality bowlers to increase your chances of getting a score and protect your totals.
- The SRH BAT first, the SRH batsmen were unable to really impress this season. They could struggle again as Chennai’s pitch is likely to support the spinners. For the first SRH bat, CSK may have an advantage.
