IPL 2019, Match 33: Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Chennai Super Kings – Match Preview, Predicted XI, Pitch Report, Weather Report, Prediction

It will be a match between the most dominant franchise in the tournament and the one which is currently struggling to find form. It will be a rematch of 2018 IPL final when Chennai Super Kings and Sunrisers Hyderabad lock horns in the 33rd match of the tournament tomorrow at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad.

Chennai Super Kings have won quite a few close matches but are currently way ahead in the points table with 7 victories from 8 matches. It has been a thoroughly professional performance by the yellow brigade and they will to just seal their place in the playoffs. A victory tomorrow will but make sure that Chennai Super Kings finished in the top two in the points table.

The experience and the captaincy of MS Dhoni have been the difference for the defending champions. They have played some professional cricket and Dhoni has been the highest run scorer for the franchise in the tournament so far. In most of the matches, MSD has played a match-defining knock and has done the finisher’s job to perfection.

He has led his troops admirably and has met the perfect changes for different conditions. The spin department has been the strongest for Chennai and the way Dhoni has used his spinners must be a learning curve for many skippers all across the globe. He has handled Deepak Chahar with authority and the medium pacer hasn’t disappointed him.

In totality, Chennai Super Kings have a solid all-round team and it will take a great effort from the struggling Sunrisers Hyderabad to get anywhere close to Chennai. It was just in the previous match that regular skipper for Hyderabad, Kane Williamson returned after an injury lay off. The form of David Warner and Jonny Bairstow has been crucial for the success of Hyderabad.

The two openers have more often than not got Hyderabad off to flying starts. However, the middle order hasn’t backed up their good work which has resulted in them losing three matches on a trot. Bairstow and Warner will again look to get SRH off to a great start. However, the middle order has to start ensuring that they contribute.

Vijay Shankar who was selected in the Indian World Cup-bound squad should start contributing more with the bat and ball. He is a wonderful player but hasn’t realized his potential in the tournament so far. The bowling department has some great names in the form of Rashid Khan and Bhuvneshwar Kumar. However, the duo hasn’t been at their wicket-taking best in the tournament so far which hasn’t helped the runners-up from the previous edition.

Predicted XI’s

Sunrisers Hyderabad:

David Warner, Jonny Bairstow, Vijay Shankar, Kane Williamson, Yusuf Pathan, Deepak Hooda, Abhishek Sharma, Rashid Khan, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Sandeep Sharma, Khaleel Ahmed

Chennai Super Kings:

Faf du Plessis, Sam Billings, Suresh Raina, Ambati Rayudu, Kedar Jadhav, MS Dhoni, Ravindra Jadeja, Mitchell Santner, Deepak Chahar, Shardul Thakur, Imran Tahir.

Head to Head:

Total number of matches played: 11

Matches won by SRH: 2

Matches won by CSK: 9

Weather Report:

Temperature is expected to remain on the higher side during the day time. However, during the match time, the temperature is expected to go down considerably. It may be in the range between 24 to 26 deliveries. It made be a cloudy evening but no forecast for rain has been given by Accuweather. Hence a full 40 overs match is expected to be on our hands tomorrow.

Pitch Report:

The pitch at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad tends to help the fast bowlers in the powerplay which means that the pace attack from both teams might make an impact. The pitch usually eases out as the game progress. However, in the past, we have seen big scores being out up by teams in Hyderabad. Hence the contest in Hyderabad between the bat and the ball is always even.

Match Prediction

Chennai Super Kings have been in sensational form in Vivo IPL 12 so far. With 3 defeats on a trot, the morale of Sunrisers Hyderabad wouldn’t be high. The 9-2 victory record in favour of Chennai also shows that CSK has a clear edge over Hyderabad. However, cricket is beyond statistics and I have a huge gut feeling that tomorrow will be the day for Hyderabad. In all likelihood, Hyderabad is expected to make a comeback tomorrow and Chennai Super Kings might end their winning streak.
