CSK vs SRH Dream11 Prediction Possible 11 Fantasy Cricket Tips: 46th Match of IPL 2024 | CHE vs SRH Dream11 Prediction Today | Chepauk Pitch Report

Match 46 of IPL 2024 is crucial. Chennai Super Kings have lost their past two games and sit outside the top four. They are two points behind third-placed Sunrisers Hyderabad, who themselves are seeking a return to winning ways after falling short against RCB a few days ago.

The way this match transpires may ultimately depend on the pitch. If it’s the kind of surface we’ve often seen at Chepauk this season, expect a run-fest. Such an encounter makes SRH very difficult to contend with, so we may very well see a slower surface should CSK see that as their best chance of victory.

There are lots of matchups to look forward to. The plethora of 250+ scores is always a chance of continuing in a game such as this, but both teams have some quality bowlers to turn to. This one should be a cracking game indeed.

It will be fascinating to see how the pitch plays. A flat surface plays into SRH’s hands, so there is a possibility of the kind of slow wicket we saw in the CSK-KKR game earlier in IPL 2024.

200 has been breached three times in for games this season. If the pitch is true, expect another high-scoring game. Another warm and clear evening is forecast.
