Chennai Super Kings:
Chennai lost another close game to Rajasthan at Jaipur a few days back and this home game should be their perfect chance for a comeback. They need only a win to go through to the playoffs and will be pumped to seal this one alright.

Sunrisers Hyderabad:
They are having a dream run in this year's IPL as they have won all of their last six matches.
They don't need to make changes until they feel there is a need to try the players sitting on the bench. Wicket-keeper batsman Wriddhaman Saha must come back into the XI having missed the last game. Rest of the team should be the same.
A good 9 overs at the start for us, but the partnership of Dhawan and Williamson has got SRH to a competitive total. Roar whistles for a super chase. #WhistlePodu #Yellove #CSKvSRH 🦁💛 pic.twitter.com/G3dcEO8GN7

Pitch: One of the best batting surfaces in India, the MCA stadium is gearing up for another good game of cricket.
Though the wicket was slow in the previous game, it will be interesting to see whether the pitch is the same.
Weather: It will be a hot day in Pune, but there is no chance of rain before or during the match hours.
