TEAMS PREVIEW
Chennai Super Kings Preview
Things are getting tough for MS Dhoni and his men. The season has turned into a nightmare for the four-time champions. The team suffered its biggest loss of the season in the last game against the Mumbai Indians, going down by 9 wickets. The team is struggling with the bat and the ball. Dhoni has vast experience and will look to lift his side back into form with his leadership skills.Β Β
The top order has struggled this season. Rachin Ravindra must fire at the top and build partnerships with Shaik Rasheed. SRH bowlers arenβt in great form, giving the openers the perfect opportunity to get things right. Youngster Ayush Mhatre impressed everyone in the last game, and he must add runs in the middle order with Ravindra Jadeja and Shivam Dube. MS Dhoni must do the heavy lifting in the final overs with Jamie Overton and Vijay Shankar.Β Β
The bowling attack has looked toothless this season and had their worst in the last game. Khaleel Ahmed and Jamie Overton will look to strike early as the Sunrisersβ batsmen come into this game low on confidence. Ravichandran Ashwin and Jadeja must use their experience and do well in the middle overs. Matheesha Pathirana and Noor Ahmed will look to bowl better lines than what they have done.
Sunrisers Hyderabad Preview
From being the finalist last season to an extended struggle this year, Pat Cummins and his men have hit a low. The side suffered a 7-wicket loss against the Mumbai Indians in the last game, and they are fighting for their survival in the tournament. The batting lineup is struggling, and the bowling has proved ineffective. Cummins would want his men to pull all socks and win here to keep hopes alive.Β Β
Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma are struggling, and the team needs a better start at the top to lay a strong foundation. The middle order failed in the last game, and the team expects a strong show from Ishan Kishan, Nitish Kumar Reddy, and Heinrich Klaasen. Aniket Verma, Abhinav Manohar, and Pat Cummins must do the heavy lifting in the lower middle order.Β Β
Jaydev Unadkat and Pat Cummins struggled with the new ball in the last game, and the team expects early strikes from this pair. Zeeshan Ansari and Harshal Patel must check the scoring rate in the middle overs to trouble the CSK batters who have struggled this season with consistency. Eshan Malinga and Abhishek Sharma must deliver the goods in the supporting role.
Weather Conditions
The skies over Chennai will be clear, and we expect hot and humid conditions. The wicket wonβt be easy to bat on, with the ball stopping on the batters occasionally. A score of 180 runs or above will be good, with an average first-inning score of around 150 runs.
CSK vs SRH Pitch Report
MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai, is a good venue as it aids both the bowlers and the batsmen. Batsmen must play to the ballβs merit, as fast bowlers get some early assistance from the surface. The track is slow, and spinners have always enjoyed bowling on this surface.
Toss: To Bat
Chennai is known for being a difficult surface for run chases. It is the slowest surface in the tournament and tends to slow down as the game progresses. The side that wins the toss would take advantage of the conditions by batting first.
