Chennai Vs Hyderabad in IPL: Dhoni's team again have a chance to become number-1, Warner will come out to remove the tag of skipper captain

Posted on 28th Apr 2021 by rohit kumar

Chennai Super Kings will face Sunrisers Hyderabad in the Indian Premier League on Wednesday. If Dhoni's team wins, it will once again become number-1 in the points table. At the same time, the team of David Warner, who is in the last place, can reach the fourth or fifth position if they win.

 

Right now CSK has 8 points and in the event of a win, they will have 10 points equal to RCB, but Dhoni's team will become No.1 due to a better net run rate. Similarly, Hyderabad now has 2 points and in the event of victory, it will be 4 points equal to Rajasthan, Punjab, Kolkata, and Mumbai. Right now Hyderabad's net run rate is better than Rajasthan, Punjab, and Kolkata, so even the smallest win will make it to at least number five. A win by a big margin could also propel Hyderabad to number 4 ahead of Mumbai.

 

Both teams are pleased with the pitch of Arun Jaitley Stadium

Chennai Super Kings and Sunrisers Hyderabad have performed well so far on the pitch of Delhi's Arun Jaitley Stadium. Both teams have won 6-6 out of 8-8 matches here. This time Chennai has an upper hand as the team has won 4 out of 5 matches so far this season. At the same time, Hyderabad has lost in 4 out of 5 matches.

 

Chance to either of Virat and Pandey

Sunrisers team will give chance to either of Virat Singh and Manish Pandey in this match. Virat had scored 4 off 14 balls in the last match. However, Manish Pandey was also not able to bat fast in the opening matches.

 

Karan and Chahar can increase Warner's difficulty

Sunrisers Hyderabad opener David Warner has batted against Chennai spinners Ravindra Jadeja and Imran Tahir at a strike rate of 150+. However, pacers like Sam Karan and Deepak Chahar may add to Warner's difficulty. Warner has a strike rate of just 76 against Sam Karan. At the same time, he has been able to score against Chahar at a strike rate of 112.

 

These figures will be monitored

 

If Manish Pandey returns to the playing-11, it will be his 150th match in the IPL.

 

The team, which won the toss in 74 matches at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, has decided to field 42 times in advance.

 

Ravindra Jadeja is just 2 sixes behind sixes in T20 cricket.

 

If Johnny Bairstow manages to score 71 runs, he will become the fifth wicket-keeper batsman to score 1000 runs in this league.
