Keeping this in mind, here is the COC Predicted Playing XIs for the SRH v CSK match in Sharjah.

SUNRISERS HYDERABAD

Sunrisers Hyderabad finally registered their second win of the IPL 2021, and first in the UAE leg of the tournament as they beat RR in Dubai. SRH made quite a few changes as they dropped David Warner for the second time in this tournament and brought in Jason Roy, who scored fifty on his SRH debut.

The changes that SRH made for the Rajasthan Royals match did wonders for them including Abhishek Sharma, who scored a vital 21* and also bowled one very good over. He can come in handy in both aspects of the game and is a good fielder as well.

Bowling-wise Jason Holder and Rashid Khan hold the aces for the SRH team, along with Bhuvneshwar Kumar leading the attack and SRH will hope to elongate the CSK’s wait for playoffs qualification by beating them in this important match for them.      

CHENNAI SUPER KINGS

CSK is just one game away from making it into the playoffs and has the perfect surface to play on for MS Dhoni to do his captaincy magic. Sharjah has been a complete contrast from last year where 200 plus scores being the norm, but this time around, teams are barely reaching 150.

CSK batters Ruturaj Gaikwad, Faf du Plessis, Moeen Ali, and Ambati Rayudu have been in good form with support from Ravindra Jadeja and Dwayne Bravo. Bravo will be the perfect player for Sharjah surface thanks to his slower balls as Sam Curran, who had replaced him in the previous match was carted to all parts of the ground.

The MS Dhoni-led team would like to win this match and get done with the playoffs qualification so that they can play around with their XI in the remainder of matches in the IPL 2021.

SRH COC Predicted Playing XI:

Jason Roy, Wriddhiman Saha (WK), Kane Williamson (C), Priyam Garg, Abhishek Sharma, Jason Holder, Abdul Samad, Rashid Khan, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Sandeep Sharma, Siddharth Kaul

CSK COC Predicted Playing XI:

Ruturaj Gaikwad, Faf du Plessis, Moeen Ali, Suresh Raina, Ambati Rayudu, MS Dhoni (C&WK), Ravindra Jadeja, Dwayne Bravo, Shardul Thakur, Deepak Chahar, Josh Hazlewood
