PREVIEW: M41 - Chennai Super Kings VS Sunrisers Hyderabad

what

Chennai Super Kings will lose their brief defeat when they win the match VII of IPL VII of IPL 2019 from Sunrisers Hyderabad. The last champion had been on top of the table for a long time but now slipped to second place. Sunrise Hyderabad had its own defeat, which he had arrested in the last meeting against CSK. Recently, Sunrise defeated Kolkata Knight Riders; They now have five wins from nine games and have to complete the top four.

Super Kings now play three consecutive matches at home, and at the top of the table, there is a great opportunity to end the league phase. The equation for Sunrise is the opposite, which only plays one domestic match in the remaining five.

The management of the Super Kings will be concerned with the lack of runs of Shane Watson; Australian has made only 147 runs in ten hits this season - 44 of them knock against Delhi's capitals. CSK management probably does not want to ax a player who had won them in the last season, but if he does not consider changes ever, then there are options available for him or Murali Vijay or Sam Billings. The other possible change from CSK is to bring Harbhajan Singh back; There are surprising numbers in this season of experienced off-spinner: 3 matches, 7 wickets, an average of 7.43 and 4.33 economy.

Sunrisers can not tamper with their batting line-up, though they may consider giving another spin option to Abhishek Sharma.

Main character

MS Dhoni is the highest scorer of CSK - despite batting at number five or six - reveals two things; (A) He has been sensational with the bat, and (B) the batsmen who bat over him are not clicked. CSK would like to take his form through his season for the captain, but the management would also like to set fire to the top. Suresh Raina is an important team in the wheel for CSK; Left-handed players, often known as one of the great players of the competition, need a big score under their belt.

The Sunrisers' batting started a lot in this season and ended with David Warner and Johnny Bairstow; Warner is the current orange cap holder, while Bayrusto is second on the list. Warner and Bairstow, only two batsmen from Sunrisers, who have more than 50 scores, show how good they are and how bad the rest of the batting line-up is. Bairstow, who remained unbeaten 61 and 81 in his last two knocks, is expected to participate with Sunrise after this match; He would like to sign another match with Winning Knock.

The spotlight will be on spinners on both sides; Performance of Imran Tahir, Ravindra Jadeja, Harbhajan Singh (all CSKs), and Rashid Khan (SRH) will be huge on the outcome of the match.
