Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Chennai Super Kings, IPL 2021, Today Match Prediction 30 September 2021

srh vs csk Match Prediction & Analysis

Sunrisers Hyderabad and Chennai Super Kings are two contrasting teams in terms of their team composition, player management, current form, momentum and their respective position in the points table. CSK are currently on the top of the table and their mantra of believing in experience and very less chopping and changing has worked well for them. Sunrisers Hyderabad are practically out of play-off contention and they have chosen to blood some fresh faces in the playing XI and give them game time ahead of the mega auction next year. SRH management`s handling of David Warner has been a big topic of debate recently. SRH have taken the role of party spoilers and CSK are looking to consolidate their position at the top so that they get two chances to qualify for the play-offs.

TEAMS PREVIEW

Sunrisers Hyderabad Preview

Sunrisers Hyderabad cruised to victory with fifties from IPL debutant Jason Roy (60 runs) and Skipper Kane Williamson (51* runs) leading their chase. Wridhiman Saha (18 runs), and Abhishek Sharma (21* runs) played little cameos to build vital partnerships in the middle. Jason Holder and Abdul Samad will play the finisher`s role for their team in the lower order.

Bhuvaneshwar will lead the pace attack with the likes of Sandeep Sharma, Jason Holder, and Siddharth Kaul for company. Rashid Khan is their lead spinner, and he lacks support from the other end barring Abhishek Sharma in the spin department. They rely heavily on their pace attack and might be tempted to add Jagadeesa Suchith as their third pinner in this match.

Top Players to bet on:

Jason Roy: Jason Roy announced his arrival in IPL with a stroke-filled 60 runs off 42 balls on a slow pitch and put his team front in the chase. He is an attacking player and his stay in the crease will be a big boost for SRH team.

Rashid Khan: Rashid Khan has 13 wickets at an economy rate of just 6.5 RPO this season so far. He will have a tough competition with CSK`s middle order with left and right combinations. We expect him to trouble the batters in middle overs.

Sunrisers Hyderabad Predicted Playing XI:

Jason Roy, Wriddhiman Saha (wk), Kane Williamson (c), Priyam Garg, Abhishek Sharma, Abdul Samad/Jagadeesa Suchith, Jason Holder, Rashid Khan, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Siddarth Kaul, Sandeep Sharma

Sunrisers Hyderabad Actual Playing XI:

Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Abdul Samad, Rashid Khan, S Sharma, Siddarth Kaul, Jason Holder, Jason Roy, KS Williamson, WP Saha, Priyam Garg, Abhishek Sharma

Chennai Super Kings Preview

CSK openers Ruturaj Gaikwad (40 runs) and Faf Du Plessis (43 runs) set the platform for their team in the chase with 74-run partnership. Moeen Ali carried on with 32 runs before their middle order collapsed with quick wickets. Ravi Jadeja unleashed an 8-ball 22 run attack in the last 2 overs and their batting depth came to their rescue act as they won the match in the last ball.

Ravindra Jadeja and Shardul Thakur were the pick of the bowlers as they had combined bowling figures of 8-1-44-3 in the match. Deepak Chahar and Josh Hazlewood gave a few runs but always kept troubling the opposition with their disciplined bowling. Sam Curran went for 56 runs in his 4 overs and Dwayne Bravo might reclaim the spot if available.

Top Players to bet on:

Ravindra Jadeja: Jadeja was the star of the night with bowling figures of 4-0-24-1 and a vital knock of 22 runs with the bat. He is a perfect all-rounder who can be a gamechanger with both bat and ball in hand.

Ruturaj Gaikwad: Gaiwad has scores of 88*, 38, & 40 in the 3 matches played in the second leg and is looking in great touch recently. We expect him to continue his good form at the top of the order and he will attack the spinners easily with his swift foot work.

Chennai Super Kings Predicted Playing XI:

Ruturaj Gaikwad, Faf du Plessis, Moeen Ali, Ambati Rayudu, Suresh Raina, MS Dhoni (c & wk), Ravindra Jadeja, Sam Curran/Dwayne Bravo, Shardul Thakur, Deepak Chahar, Josh Hazlewood

Chennai Super Kings Actual Playing XI:

Dwayne Bravo, Ruturaj Gaikwad, Deepak Chahar, SN Thakur, Ravindra Jadeja, Faf du Plessis, Moeen Ali, Suresh Raina, Ambati Rayudu, MS Dhoni, Josh Hazlewood

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS

Weather Conditions

Sharjah will have a hot and humid weather and temperatures might reach early 40s in the day. We dont expect any external interuptions in the match. 

Venue Details

Sharjah pitch has aided the bowlers so far and batsmen are finding it difficult to score runs freely. Spinners will play a big role in this match and pacers will look to take pace off the ball with their variations and slower balls. We expect the average score to be around 140-150 runs in this match.

Toss: To Bowl

Chasing is the best option as the teams would pace their innings according to the target. Teams batting first are struggling to score 140+ runs on this track and we expect both captains to bowl first if they win the toss.
