IPL 2020 - Chennai Super Kings vs Sunrisers Hyderabad Probable 11s, Dubai weather and pitch report
Chennai Super Kings will be aiming to get their IPL 2020 campaign back on track with a win over Sunrisers Hyderabad while David Warner’s team will also look to bounce back.
Chennai Super Kings and Sunrisers Hyderabad are in eighth and seventh position in the points table of the IPL 2020. MS Dhoni’s team started their campaign on a positive note against Mumbai Indians as they defeated the four-time champions but their momentum suffered a hit as they lost to Rajasthan Royals and Delhi Capitals. Sunrisers Hyderabad started their campaign poorly with losses to Royal Challengers Bangalore and Kolkata Knight Riders but they bounced back in style with a fantastic win over Delhi Capitals.
Chennai Super Kings have dominated Sunrisers Hyderabad in the Indian Premier League, defeating them in the final of the 2018 edition to cap off a fairytale return for MS Dhoni’s side. In 12 encounters, Sunrisers Hyderabad have registered just three wins while Chennai Super Kings have been victorious on nine occasions.
Chennai Super Kings will be boosted by the addition of Dwayne Bravo and Ambati Rayudu in the match after missing the last two games due to injury. Rayudu’s return will boost the Chennai Super Kings batting. On the other hand, Sunrisers Hyderabad regained their bowling mojo and that is why they will be confident heading into the clash.
Weather conditions
The weather in Dubai today will be hot and dry, with a maximum temperature of 36 degrees and a low of 27 degrees. The humidity level is 46 percent but dew is significantly higher in Dubai as compared to Abu Dhabi.
High scores and pitch report
Dubai International Cricket Stadium has seen scores in excess of 160 in most of the games played here. The pitch is good for batting in the first half but in the second part, it helps the spinners.
