Match 33: Sun risers Vs Super Kings Post Analysis
Sunrisers takes control at Hyderabad
First ever time in this season Chennai super kings faced last year finalist Sunrisers yesterday at Hyderabad. Last year SRH may be the table toppers they lost all the four matches against CSK this includes qualifier1 and finals. Unfortunately they missed their regular captain MS Dhoni yesterday and played under the captaincy of Suresh Raina. After a long rest Kane Williamson played yesterday also for SRH. Suresh Raina made two changes in team. In the absence of Dhoni he used Sam Billings as wicket keeper and Karn Sharma filled the gap made by Santner.
After winning the toss CSK decided to bat first. Abnormally at this season both CSK openers played well and do the needed thing for CSK. Watson may not played his original game still the partnership scored 79 runs from 9.5 overs and watson departed for 31 runs. Faf Du plesis continues his good form yesterday also. Faf scored 45 runs from 31 balls and left when the score was 81 for 2 at 10.2 overs. At this everyone thought like CSK definitely will score more than 160 runs. But Rashid Khan changed everyone's prediction at 14th over. He took both Raina and Jadhav by means of lbw. That is the game changing moment on yesterdays match. Rayudu playing like not to lose his wicket. Expected Billings gone for duck by khaleel's slower ball. Jadeja and Rayudu didnt give any wickets at the same time they didnt score runs too. Jaddu scored 10 runs from 20 balls and Rayudu scored 25 runs from 21 balls. CSK ends up with 132 runs at the end of 20 overs. In last 58 balls they scored 51 runs and lost 3 wickets only 4 boundaries.
Sunrisers started the chase with inform batsmen Warner and Bairstow. They know the target is very less still they doesnt wants to waste any time. They focused completely on runrate and played like the target was 200 runs. With lack of Dhoni's captaincy Raina doesnt know how to control these two batsmen. He gave 3 overs to Chahar in powerplay itself. Atleast he should try jadeja in powerplay but missed. Warner brings his one more fifty in this warner with 25 balls and departed. Imran Tahir strikes one more time by picking Williamson and Vijay Shankar for single digit. But SRH has many balls and less runs to win. Once Bairstow struggled a lot in playing spinners. But he decided if he play slowly it may create pressure at end and decided to hit every spin ball. That worked out and SRH win this match by 6 wickets with 19 balls remaining.
Once again CSK missed Dhoni, if he is there definitely he may increase runs at death overs atleast two boundaries. That will help CSK to cross 150 runs. Moreover his captaincy creates a pressure over SRH while chasing. Not sure whether they will win, but definitely the match will end at last two balls. With this win SRH gained two points moved to 5th position from 6. Still CSK remains top of the table. Next match, there is a second time face to face between Mumbai Indians with Delhi Capitals at Kotla. First time young DC wins, lets see how Rohit and team handle these young army.
