Chennai Super Kings (CSK) will take on Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in their fourth match of Indian Premier League (IPL) 2020 at Dubai International Cricket Stadium in Dubai tonight.
Chennai Super Kings who won their first match against Mumbai Indians lost next two matches against Rajasthan Royals and Delhi Capitals. In these two matches their batting as well as bowling performance was poor.
Though the return of Ambati Rayudu and Dwayne Bravo will boost their confidence, the likes of Shane Watson, Murali Vijay and Kedar Jadhav too have to perform and captain Dhoni should bat higher while in bowling Ravindra Jadeja and Piyush Chawla need to control things in middle overs. Deepak Chahar, Sam Curran and Josh Hazlewood have been good in the pace bowling department and they need to continue bowling well.
On the other hand, Sunrisers Hyderabad who lost their first two matches against Royal Challengers Bangalore and Kolkata Knight Riders bounced back against Delhi Capitals and registered their first win and now will look to carry that form into this match. Their openers are doing fine job and the return of Kane Williamson who played a game changing knock against Delhi, has given them some confidence.
In the bowling, Bhuvneshwar Kumar is back among wickets and T Natarajan is also doing a good job with his yorkers and among spinners Rashid Khan has been quite effective so the team is on right track and they should put up a good performance against Super Kings.
