Sunrisers Hyderabad started their campaign on a disappointing note, losing to Rajasthan Royals and Kings XI Punjab in their first two games, but managed to bounce back against Delhi Daredevils by notching up a narrow four-run win on Friday.

Hyderabad rode on the knocks of Aaron Finch (88) and David Warner (58), both of whom stitched a 128-run stand for the unconquered second wicket, and then restricted Delhi to 180-4 to record their first win of the season. Finch and Warner will be expected to repeat their exploits against a team, that has been one of the most consistent sides in the cash-rich event.
Going by their CSK's form, Dhoni's men will definitely start as overwhelming favourites. On Friday they defeated Mumbai Indians comprehensively with the in-from Brendon McCullum hitting a belligerent unbeaten 71 and CSK will rely on yet another flying start by the New Zealander along with his opening partner Dwayne Smith. Suresh Raina will again be the man to watch out for.
