Today CSK take on Sunrisers Hyderabad in IPL 2020 match no.14 at Dubai on Friday. If Dhoni needs added motivation for coming up the order then there is plenty of that. The CSK captain is on the verge of completing three milestones as a batsman and one as a keeper.
Meanwhile, their opponent Sunrisers would be confident after securing their first win of the campaign and will look to do the same against the three-time IPL winners CSK. The return of Kane Williamson surely worked well for the franchise as their fragile middle-order now looks solid, with skipper David Warner and Jonny Bairstow leading from the front.

Pitch Report
The pitch in Dubai has started to assist spinners with the ball starting to turn. It is still a decent batting wicket, and the batsman can score runs once they settle in. A score of about 165-170 would be considered above par.
