Chennai Super Kings (CSK) won the toss and elected to bowl first against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in an Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 match at MA Chidambaram Stadium, here on Friday.

“This pitch is 50-50 because it is slightly cloudy. There might be dew so it is always better to chase. All packed together on the points table, we need to do well and not look at the table at this moment. Combination-wise, we have been fortunate because we haven’t had all players available. The headaches start later when everyone becomes available,” CSK skipper MS Dhoni said at the toss.

SRH captain Aiden Markram said there will be the same 16 but since they are batting first here, there will be a change to the XI.

“We had a good game against KKR batting first, so hopefully we can take a leaf out of that. I think we need to get the whole game good together, one skill is good and the other not as much, so we are working on it. If one of them is having a good night, they have to make it big,” Markram said.

“We’ve got the same 16 from the MI game, but since we are batting first here, there will be a change to the XI,” he added.
