Right then, we are ready to get underway with the second game of the evening. The players walk out to the middle. Ruturaj Gaikwad has a new opening partner in Devon Conway. Bhuvneshwar Kumar is ready to bowl the first over. Here we go...

MS Dhoni, the skipper of Chennai, says that we will definitely see him in the yellow jersey next year, whether it is the same one or the other one, that remains to be seen. Adds that injuries are part and parcel of the game but they need to identify the areas where they need to work on. Tells that they need to bowl better and not concede too many runs along with taking the catches. Informs that they have made two changes to their side - Simarjeet Singh and Devon Conway come in for Shivam Dube and Dwayne Bravo.

Kane Williamson, the captain of Hyderabad, says that they have chased well and they also want to use the conditions upfront with the ball. Adds that they lost a close game and today is yet another opportunity for them. Informs that they are going UNCHANGED.

Chennai (Playing XI) - Ruturaj Gaikwad, Robin Uthappa, Devon Conway (In for Dwayne Bravo), Ambati Rayudu, Simarjeet Singh (In for Shivam Dube), Ravindra Jadeja, MS Dhoni (C/WK), Mitchell Santner, Dwaine Pretorius, Maheesh Theekshana, Mukesh Choudhary.

Hyderabad (Unchanged Playing XI) - Abhishek Sharma, Kane Williamson (C), Rahul Tripathi, Aiden Markram, Nicholas Pooran (WK), Washington Sundar, Shashank Singh, Marco Jansen, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, T Natarajan, Umran Malik.

TOSS - Hyderabad have won the toss and they have elected to BOWL first.

Update from Match 45 - There is another game going on at the moment in Mumbai and it is Delhi who require 83 more runs to win off 48 balls against Lucknow. The big-hitters, Rishabh Pant and Rovman Powell are at the crease and Delhi would certainly fancy their chances. You can keep switching tabs and enjoy the coverage of both games.

The Kane Williamson-led Hyderabad side was on a 5-game winning streak until they met Gujarat at the Wankhede Stadium where they were handed a defeat on the last ball of the match. They are a power-packed bowling unit and the form of their opening batter, Abhishek Sharma has done wonders for them. Will they be able to bounce back and register their sixth win of the season? We shall find that soon. Stick around for toss and further updates.

With MS Dhoni back at the helm, the 4-time champions would be looking to turn things around in the second half of this season. After winning the last-ball thriller against Mumbai, Chennai failed to carry on with the winning momentum and suffered a defeat in their next game against Punjab. They have been inconsistent in all the departments and would be keen to make amends against Hyderabad. The Yellow team needs to get back to winning ways as soon as possible if they are to stand a chance of making it to the playoffs.

Things are heating up in the Indian T20 League as we are approaching the business end of the tournament and we have another cracker of a game lined up, folks. It is the defending champions, Chennai who will be taking on Hyderabad at the MCA Stadium in Pune. On that note, a very warm welcome to our coverage.

... Match Day ...
