After losing 2 matches out of 3 both teams are struggling to find the spot in Points table. Although it’s the early phase of tournament but still it’s quite surprising for IPL lovers to see the Giants of league struggling to survive. After winning the opening match against the defending champions Mumbai indians CSK has lost the track. They lost consecutive 2 matches against Rajshthan Royals and Delhi capitals respectively. On the other hand after losing back to back 2 matches Sunrisers finds the track by winning their last match against Delhi capitals.
The Orange army is in full charge after the splendid performance of Rashid khan against DC. MSD’s camp is coming after 6 days long rest and they are now ready to gear up their tournament. The good news for CSK is Rayudu and Bravo are fit and ready to make a come back in playing eleven. Earlier Mahi got criticised for not coming up in batting order. By asking him this question his reply was that he wasn’t get time to practice. But now it’s crucial for yellow camp to get Mahi in his vintage form.
Pitch Report-
Dubai International stadium is known for it’s high scoring matches. Stadium’s pitch always has supported batsman more but bowlers also have restricted advantages here. This pitch quite favourable for Fast bowlers with new bowls and helpful for spinners. The chances of dew is quite low. Last match didn’t see the dew.
Match Prediction- Both team will play their second match on this ground. Coincidentally both team lost their first matches on this ground. Both teams will prefer bat second by going the record on this ground. Ambati rayudu and bravo are coming after a recovery in CSK. It might give Mahi’s Army a little weight. But the bowling line up of Sunrisers are lethal in the presence of Rashid that can change any match. Previous record of CSK against SRH is quite strong. CSK have won 9 of the 12 ipl matches against SRH which gives the milage to CSK against Sunrisers.
