While we wait for the toss to take place, here's our match preview: Can Super Kings stay clear of must-win territory?
Hello and welcome to Match 29 of IPL 2020 - set to be played between Sunrisers Hyderabad and Chennai Super Kings. At the start of the second half of the tournament, both teams find themselves in the second half of the points table with more issues than pros to look at. Both teams have been scratchy and desperately in search of some momentum in the tournament. It was only two years ago that both teams had reached the final of IPL, and despite retaining most of their core, they haven't been able to fire. Injuries and exclusion of some of the key players has played a part and they are yet to find their best XIs. The good news is that, one of the two teams will get a much-needed push on the points table today
