The Chennai Super Kings, one of the most successful teams in the IPL, started the season with a win, but since then they have lost two matches in a row as if they have lost their rhythm as Super Kings. Now, with Sunrisers Hyderabad set to face them in Dubai tomorrow, Dhoni hopes to return to winning ways. The match will start at 6.30 pm Indian time in Dubai.
Warner-led Sunrisers Hyderabad had a disappointing start and lost the first two matches. However, in the final match against Delhi, Hyderabad gained confidence with their first win of the season. Bairstow, Captain Warner and Williams got the form. While T20 specialist spinner Rashid gave a magical performance and took three wickets for just 12 runs in 4 overs. Bhubaneswar is also slowly making an impact.
With Hyderabad's sunrise, the Super Kings will have to play with extreme caution against it. Ambati Rayudu and all-rounder Bravo have returned to Dhoni's squad with fitness. Which will increase the morale of the team. Out-of-form Murali Vijay could be replaced by Rayudu in the opening over.
Jadhav's performance has also not been good. Now Dhoni may have to keep a foreign player out to include Bravo in the team. England all-rounder Sam Karan has secured his place rather than an impressive performance. Given the pitch in such a situation, he could replace Watson or Hazlewood with Bravo.
To face a powerful team like Chennai, Hyderabad will have to rely on Warner, Bairstow and Williamson. Kashmiri player Abdul Samad has given hope, but Priyam Garm and Abhishek Sharma have yet to show off their talents.
The bowling lineup looks almost the same for both the teams in tomorrow's match. The Hyderabad team includes Rashid and Bhubaneswar as well as final over specialist T. Natarajan is involved. Deepak Chahar, Hazlewood, Karan, Jadeja and Chawla are in charge of bowling for the Chennai Super Kings.
The two matches that have been drawn in the Super Over so far this season were played in Dubai. The team that batted first in all the matches except this has become the winner. Which means it's about to be the most delusional time of the year, as well. However, Mumbai tied the match against Bangalore by scoring 201 against a target of 204, which would not be a surprise if a huge challenge is chased here.
Hyderabad: Warner (Captain), Bairstow, Williamson, Manish Pandey, Shrivastava Goswami, Vijay Shankar, Nabi, Rashid, Mitchell Marsh, Abhishek Sharma, B. Sandeep, Sanjay Yadav, Fabian Allen, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Khalil Ahmed, Sandip Nadeem, Siddharth Kaul, Billy Stanlake, T. Natarajan, Basil Thampi.
Chennai: Dhoni (captain), m. Vijay, Rayudu, Du Plessis, Watson, Jadhav, Bravo, Jadeja, Ngidi, D. Chahar, Chawla, Tahir, Santner, Hazelwood, Thakur, Sam Karan, Jagdish, KM Asif, Monu Kumar, R. Sai Kishore, Rituraj Gaekwad and Karna Sharma.
