IPL 2020: SRH vs CSK Preview – All eyes on Chennai’s comeback
MS Dhoni’s Chennai Super Kings and David Warner’s Sunrisers Hyderabad will take on each other at the Dubai International Stadium in Match 29 of IPL 2020. Chennai Super Kings have just 2 wins to their name in 7 matches, while Sunrisers Hyderabad have 3 wins in 7 matches. CSK are coming off a loss against RCB while SRH went down to RR in their erstwhile encounter.
The last time CSK and SRH met in this season, the Orange Army won the match by 7 runs. Chennai Super Kings have had an unusually slow start to the campaign. Their intent has been highly questionable, with them either losing games from comfortable situations or not even attempting to catch up with the scoring rate.
Sunrisers Hyderabad, on the other hand, have had a relatively better season so far. Although, their bowling attack has come under the pump after losing the game from a winning situation against Rajasthan Royals. They are lacking the services of their star pacer Bhuvaneshwar Kumar.
Match Info:
Match 29- SRH vs CSK
Venue- Dubai International Stadium, Dubai
Time – 7:30 PM IST
Head To Head:
Stat Attack:
CSK have a run rate of 6.69 in the Powerplay, the least for a team in IPL 2020.
David Warner needs 19 runs to become the first foreign player and the 4th overall to score 5000 runs in IPL.
MS Dhoni needs 30 runs to complete 4000 runs for CSK in IPL, will become the 2nd player after Raina.
Team News:
Chennai Super Kings:
MS Dhoni has talked about how his team has certain loopholes, and that they ought to step up and perform when needed the most. He has clearly stated that CSK would change their intent now, and rather get out early attacking and taking the game deep, as that approach is clearly not working for them anymore.
Sunrisers Hyderabad:
Warner was disappointed that SRH lost from such a dominating performance, after top-class bowling in the Powerplay and the middle overs. They can take heart from the fact that Khaleel and Rashid picked up 2 wickets each. SRH were also beyond disappointing in the Powerplay against a relatively weak RR bowling lineup.
Probable XI:
