Defeating Chennai Super Kings on their home ground is not easy. Both teams have played four matches against each other at this ground, and Chennai Super Kings have emerged victorious every time.
After suffering two consecutive losses, the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) team will be eager to turn around their winning streak. Chennai is set to face Sunrisers Hyderabad this Sunday. Under new captain Ruturaj Gaikwad’s leadership, CSK had a good start, but they had to face defeat twice against Lucknow. They even had to swallow a bitter pill of defeat against the Super Giants on their home ground.
Lucknow easily achieved a target of 210 runs thanks to Stoinis’ century. In the eight matches played, the team has won four and lost just as many. Chennai’s captain Ruturaj is batting well with a good rhythm. He has also played a century inning. Shivam Dube is also performing well. All-rounder Ravindra Jadeja is also making valuable contributions to the team.
Rachin Ravindra’s form is a major concern at the top order. As the playoffs draw near, every win is crucial for Chennai. On the other hand, Hyderabad’s batting is in good form, having set the highest score twice in the IPL. However, they faced a 35-run loss in the last match against RCB. So far, Hyderabad has lost three matches this season.
Currently, everything is going well for the Hyderabad team. The team’s mindset is strong, and the players are filled with confidence. The way Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma are batting can intimidate the opposition. Both have scored runs in every match except against RCB. In the last match played against CSK this season, Abhishek Sharma turned the game in Sunrisers’ favor with a stellar batting performance. Chennai needs to be cautious of these two players.
Comparing Hyderabad’s bowling to their batting, their bowling performance has not been particularly special. Even though the team has scored over 250 runs in some matches, they have also leaked 20-30 runs more than desired. Beating Chennai on their home ground is not an easy task. In the past encounters at this venue, CSK has emerged victorious more often than not.
Out of the 20 matches played between the two teams overall, Chennai has won 14 and Sunrisers have won six. However, the pitch at Chepauk Stadium may prove to be a game-changer with its variable pace. In the matches between Lucknow and Chennai, both teams scored over 200 runs, with spin playing a crucial role. If spin continues to play a significant role in today’s match, the team winning the toss might opt to bowl first.
