The Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) will be taking on the defending champions Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in match 18 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 season. This will be a home match for SRH and will look forward to using that advantage to steal a win from CSK. The hosts for match 18 currently have a single one to their name in the IPL 2024 season and that too was the highest-scoring match in the history of IPL. Gujarat Titans (GT) humbled the strong-looking side SRH in their last match as GT won the match by seven wickets. IPL 2024: Ambati Rayudu Blames RCB’s Title Drought to Senior Players ‘Failure To Negotiate Pressure Situations’.

The high-scoring batting lineup of SRH was humbled and was restricted to scoring runs against the strong bowling lineup of GT. Mohit Sharma took three wickets making him the Man of the Match. SRH's batting lineup was unable to play big innings as the wickets fell frequently and the bowling variations from GT made it worse for SRH to score runs. While defending their average total of 162 runs, SRH bowlers did well but was not enough for them as they didn't take many wickets, eventually leading to their defeat in the match. Shah Rukh Khan Hugs Rishabh Pant, Kuldeep Yadav, Ishant Sharma and Other Players Following KKR’s 106 Runs Victory Over DC in IPL 2024 Clash (Watch Video).

The defending champions are coming in with a defeat as well but from the hands of Delhi Capitals (DC). DC went on to bat first and hit the CSK's bowling lineup for quite a few runs. CSK took some wickets but the flow of runs never stopped from DC. CSK while chasing lost a couple of early wickets which built pressure on them. Ajinkya Rahane and Daryl Mitchell tried to take control of the innings but they failed soon. In the end cameo by former CSK captain MS Dhoni left an impact but was not enough to lead CSK to a third consecutive win.
