Quick SRH vs CSK Preview
Sunrisers Hyderabad showed glimpses of what they are capable of when they thrashed the Mumbai Indians bowling for a whopping 277 runs in their second game but were pegged back in their next encounter by Gujarat Titans.
Where Hyderabad struggled in that encounter was with their batters failing to get a move on. Despite having Washington Sundar coming in at number eight and seven of the eight batters them getting starts, none of the Hyderabad batters got to 30.
And in response, the lack of bowling penetration – which has been SRH’s issue right through the tournament – showed up again as the Titans chased down the target easily.
They face a Chennai Super Kings team which started off with wins over Royal Challengers Bangalore and Gujarat Titans but were then felled by Delhi Capitals in their third game.
Matheesha Pathirana has continued to pick the wickets for CSK but in the absence of any other bowler doing too much, Delhi raced away to 191/5 in their 20 overs.
CSK could have done better with the bat too, but the failures of Ruturaj Gaikwad and Rachin Ravindra set the tone for a punishing loss.
With Mustafizur Rahman missing this game, they will hope to stall the SRH batting down but on a flat pitch it could prove to be a tough ask.
