<p>Having opened their account in the ongoing Indian Premier League, Sunrisers Hyderabad will bank on their new-found confidence when they face the acid test of taking on a formidable Chennai Super Kings here on Sunday.<br /><br /></p>.<p>Sunrisers Hyderabad started their IPL-7 campaign on a disappointing note, losing to Rajasthan Royals and Kings XI Punjab in their first two games, but managed to bounce back against Delhi Daredevils by notching up a narrow four-run win in Dubai on Friday night.<br /><br />Hyderabad rode on the knocks of Aaron Finch (88) and David Warner (58), both of whom stitched a 128-run stand for the unconquered second wicket, and then restricted Delhi to 180 for four to record their first win of the season.<br /><br />Come Sunday, Finch and Warner will be expected to repeat their exploits against a team that has been one of the most consistent sides in the cash-rich event. Skipper and opener Shikhar Dhawan is yet to click in the tournament and he would certainly be keen to demonstrate his batting prowess.<br /><br />Their bowlers have done a reasonably good job. They had faired well against Rajasthan but could not withstand the Glenn Maxwell tide against Punjab. However, last night they managed to eke out a thrilling win with bowling spearhead Dale Steyn taking two for 33. Besides the South African, Bhuvneshwar Kumar has also been consistent.<br /><br />Two-time champions Chennai Super Kings started their campaign with a loss to Kings XI Punjab, but they lived up to their reputation by storming back with back-to-back victories over Delhi Daredevils, Rajasthan Royals and defending champions Mumbai Indians. Going by their form, CSK will definitely start overwhelming favourites. They defeated Mumbai comprehensively with the in-from Brendon McCullum hitting a belligerent unbeaten 71 and CSK will rely on yet another flying start by the New Zealander along with his opening partner Dwayne Smith.</p>
