Day 37 Predictions: CSK vs SRH; MI vs RR

So, looking at the current form of Sunrisers Hyderabad and Chennai Super Kings it’s quite difficult to pick the winner. But we are sure that SRH skipper Kane Williamson would not want to break his six-match winning streak. So we would pick Sunrisers Hyderabad over Sunrisers. However, statistic clearly mentions that CSK outweighs SRH. Out of 7 matches, Chennai Super Kings won – 5, Sunrisers Hyderabad won – 2.

In the second match, we pick Mumbai Indians as out of the 5 matches at the Wankhede Stadium,  Mumbai Indians won – 4, Rajasthan Royals won – 1.
