In the Vivo Indian Premier League IPL 2018 final, MS Dhoni-led Chennai Super Kings (CSK) take on Kane Williamson's Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) at Mumbai's Wankhede Stadium. Nerves will play a big role as Chennai Super Kings and Sunrisers Hyderabad look to outdo each other and regain the coveted IPL crown when they square off in what promises to be a humdinger of a summit clash. These two southern rivals last met in Qualifier 1 on May 22, in which CSK, champions in 2010 and 2011, just managed to emerge victorious in a low-scoring thriller, after crumbling in the middle overs during the run chase. SRH prevailed over Kolkata Knight Riders with a margin of just 14 runs at Eden Gardens in Qualifier 2 to seal a place in the coveted final.

Who has an edge in the CSK vs SRH IPL final 2018?

In the three encounters that the two finalists have had in IPL 2018, Chennai Super Kings won all three matches. The much awaited IPL 2018 final today will typically be a clash between SRH’s bowling and CSK’s batting. With the likes of Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Rashid Khan and Siddarth Kaul, Sunrisers Hyderabad boasts of a superb bowling attack whereas the CSK has a star-studded batting line-up consisting of Shane Watson, skipper Dhoni, Ambati Rayudu, Suresh Raina and others. For Chennai Super Kings, each of these batsman had risen to the occasion whenever they were needed.
