IPL 2020: CSK vs SRH Preview – Can Chennai find their missing intent?

MS Dhoni

MS Dhoni’s Chennai Super Kings and David Warner’s Sunrisers Hyderabad will take on each other at the Dubai International Stadium in Match 14 of IPL 2020. Both the teams have 1 win to their name in the 3 matches. SRH finally opened their account against Delhi Capitals with a clinical performance, defeating them by 15 runs. CSK are coming after a one week break after their loss against Delhi by 44 runs.

CSK needs to introspect a lot after their consecutive defeats. They put up a dismal performance with the bat against KKR. They would be hoping for their star players to come back to form. They also need to improve the persistent problem of middle-order batting. SRH improved their top-order batting from the previous game, with Kane Williamson playing a crucial innings. Their bowling also did well, with star-bowlers Rashid Khan and Bhuvneshwar Kumar coming good at crucial junctures.

Team News:

Chennai Super Kings:

There is a sigh of relief in the Chennai camp with the availability of in-form Ambati Rayudu. The CSK CEO said,” Rayudu has recovered well from a hamstring strain and will play in the next game. He ran and sprinted during training and batted without any discomfort at the nets.” He also cleared that their star-allrounder Dwayne Bravo is set to return by saying “He bowled well in the nets.”

Sunrisers Hyderabad:

Star batsman and New Zealand captain Kane Williamson was highly integral in strengthening their existing batting order. SRH’s bowling attack reinstated the faith Warner had in them with a clinical performance against Delhi’s aggressive batting lineup. Natarajan was excellent in the death overs, bowling 6 yorkers in the 18th over. They would hope for Shankar to recover soon so that SRH don’t have to rely on Abhishek Sharma as the 5th bowler for the entire season.
