After securing their first IPL win of 2014 Sunrisers Hyderabad now face a tough test when taking on two time winners Chennai Super Kings in Sharjah.
The Sunrisers lost their opening two fixtures of the IPL 7 tournament before recording their first win of the season against Delhi Daredevils on Friday by just four runs.
It would have been pleasing for captain Shikhar Dhawan to see Australian duo Aaron Finch and David Warner giving good performances with the bat in that game.
In Delhi’s inning some good bowling from Dale Steyn, Darren Sammy and Karn Sharma also played a big part in the victory.
Yet Chennai are a different test to the Daredevils and Hyderabad will struggle to get anything from MS Dhoni and his excellent team.
The Super Kings cruised to another win in their last fixture, brushing aside reigning champions Mumbai Indians by a seven wicket margin, thanks largely to Brendon McCullum’s 71 not-out.
Even at this early stage Dhoni’s men are expected to be among the leaders to lift the trophy come the end of the competition.
