In a much anticipated and high-octane clash, Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) will lock horns in Chepauk on Sunday and for both the teams, the primary goal will be to secure the fourth spot on the points table.
Both side's batting units have been in sublime form this year, with SRH being trendsetters for 200+ runs. As anticipation surrounding the upcoming clash builds, let's explore four must-watch player battles.
Ruturaj Gaikwad vs Pat Cummins
| Runs | Balls | Outs | Dots | Strike Rate | Average |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 24 | 16 | 1 | 6 | 150.0 | 24.0 |
In a captain vs captain battle, CSK's Ruturaj Gaikwad is most likely to prevail over Pat Cummins. While Cummins has dismissed Gaikwad once in 16 balls, the CSK young gun has mostly dominated the matchup with 150 strike rate.
Additionally, Cummins likes to try his hand at the new ball. But on the other hand, the CSK skipper has also been exceptional in powerplay, which sets the stage for an epic battle.
Shivam Dube Vs Mayank Markande
| Runs | Balls | Outs | Dots | Strike Rate | Average |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 14 | 5 | 0 | 0 | 280.0 |
Spin has always been Shivam Dube's forte, and his record against Mayank Markande suggests that Dube will overpower Markande tomorrow. In 5 balls, the batter has hit Markande at a splendid 280 strike rate and hasn't been dismissed yet. And in the middle overs, Dube will be nothing short of a nightmare for Markande.
Heinrich Klaasen Vs Matheesha Pathirana
| Runs | Balls | Outs | Dots | Strike Rate | Average |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 3 | 4 | 1 | 1 | 75.0 | 3.0 |
In a battle between the two titans, Heinrich Klaasen and Matheesha, Pathirana will give each other a tough time. Pathirana dismissed Klaasen once in the T20 format, and the batter's strike rate was as low as 75.0.
Travis Head Vs Moeen Ali
| Runs | Balls | Outs | Dots | Strike Rate | Average |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 37 | 52 | 2 | 24 | 71.15 | 18.50 |
Travid Head witnessed a rare failure in the previous game against RCB where he was dismissed early by Will Jacks, an off spinner. Therefore, Moeen Ali will be the key to CSK neutralizingSRH's opening threat.
Interestingly, Head has struggled against Moeen in white ball format with just a 71.15 strike rate in 52 deliveries faced and two dismissals.
Hence, Ruturaj Gaikwad must play his cards right and introduce Moeen Ali early to get Head cheaply.
