Sunrisers Hyderabad and Chennai Super Kings will meet each other in match number 29 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2020 season. SRH were stunned by the Royals in their previous encounter as they let things slip away. For CSK, they are in a bit of a mess, losing five games already this season.
For SRH, the onus once again will be on the top order to score the bulk of runs. The bowling, as usual, is strong and SRH doesn’t need to chip and change of any kind. They know CSK are there for the taking and David Warner will be keen to go all out.
MS Dhoni has been very prompt and true with the way CSK have performed. CSK are in a spot of bother with the batting and the lack of intent is something that has been missing from the beginning. They need a quick fix.
