Csk not able to defend 210 at Chennai and Hyderabad not able to score 200 in Hyderabad is something you'd only laugh at. These are things which you dont expect from both the teams but they are coming back of terrible losses and are looking to get things back on track at the business end of the tournament.
Chennai Super Kings:
The first thing or visual that comes to our mind when we hear or read CSK is MS Dhoni. He is breaking all the decible levels throughout the country. So much so that few of the players have to close their ears when he comes out to bat. Chennai have made Chepauk their fortress but it was breached in the last game when they were not able to defend 210. Chennai usually defend 160-170 type of scores at Chepauk but in the last game they were all over the place against Lucknow. They return to Chepauk against the best batting line up of the tournament who are on a mission to break records with every passing game. Can CSK manage to stop the SRH juggernaut? Only time will tell!
Sunrisers Hyderabad:
SRH are the talk of the town for the past month or so. Breezing past opponents in a way only they can. Pat Cummins seems to be doing nothing wrong. His purple patch doesnt seem to end which is going on from the Ashes. SRH lost their last game to RCB who had lost 7 of their 8 games. People expected SRH walk past RCB with ease but RCB bowlers were too good on that particular day.
Players to watch out for:
Ajinkya Rahane:
Time seems to be running out for him. He is not able to repay the faith that Dhoni has showed in him. Has played almost every game without any major contribution. This game might just be the season changing one for him.
Abhishek Sharma:
There is a lot of talk about Travis Head but there is this guy from Punjab who has silently taken some giant strides and there are murmurs of him being in contention for that T20 WC slot. The starts that he has provided are blistering at the same time he mentally derails the opposition out of the game in the powerplays. SRH will be hoping he does the same when he meets CSK on Sunday.
Interesting facts:
CSK have won atleast 1 game against SRH in every season they have faced.
CSK was the first team to win all 4 matches against an opponent in a season (Against SRH in 2018).
