Mahendra Singh Dhoni-led Chennai Super Kings (CSK) will take on Kane Williamson's Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in Qualifier 1 of Vivo Indian Premier League (IPL 2018) at Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai’s on Tuesday. Anticipation from the match are quiet high as it is expected to be a no-holds-barred contest between the two former IPL champions. While Hyderabad are table-toppers with 18 points from 14 matches and a net run rate (NRR) of +0.280, Chennai are place second on Vivo Points Table 2018 with an equal number of points but slightly lower NRR of + 0.253. The raucous Mumbai fans could expect a cut-throat contest on Tuesday.

The winner of this clash of the champions will get a direct ticket to the IPL 2018 final, to be played in Mumbai on May 27. The loser will play Qualifier 2 against the winner of the Eliminator match to be played on Wednesday (May 23) between Kolkata Knight Riders and Rajasthan Royals, ranked third and fourth, respectively, after the round-robin stage. Qualifier 2 will be played on Friday (May 25). All playoff matches will begin at 7 pm, unlike the 8 pm schedule for Round-Robin matches.

Who has an edge in the CSK vs SRH Qualifier?
Talking about the edge, Chennai Super Kings have it over SRH; not only have they got the better of their rivals twice in the league stage of IPL 2018 but they also have a winning momentum going into the match being played on what promises to be a bouncy track. While CSK stopped the aspirations of Kings XI Punjab by overcoming a difficult start on Sunday in their adopted home base of Pune, Sunrisers Hyderabad lost their three previous games on trot after sealing their playoff spot with a victory on May 10 against Delhi Daredevils.
