Match Details:

The 29th match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2020 will be played between Sunrisers Hyderabad and Chennai Super Kings at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium in Dubai.

This game is scheduled to start at 07:30 PM IST (06:00 PM local time) (02:00 PM UTC). The game will be telecasted on the Star Sports Network (Available in English, Hindi, Telugu, Tamil, Kannada and Bengali). Also, live streaming will be available on Disney+ Hotstar.

Preview:

The Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) were pretty much in a winning position in the last game against the Rajasthan Royals (RR) before two young blokes brought up a spectacular performance and grabbed the game away. At the halfway stage in the tournament, SRH have got three wins and four losses. In order to make it to the playoffs, they are required to play more consistent cricket and bag a few more wins in the next 7 matches. They will be taking on the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in their upcoming encounter.

Even though CSK have a great head-to-head record against SRH, they lost to this opposition earlier in the tournament. Things seem quite gloomy for them at this stage of the tournament with only two wins from 7 games. They have got several holes to fill as the playoff chances seem to be slipping away from them. If they want to keep their playoff record intact, they should start winning from here and register at least 4-5 wins in the next 7 games.

SRH vs CSK Weather Report for Match 29:

Nothing much changes in terms of the weather in Dubai. But the temperatures are expected to drop below 30 degrees Celsius at around 10 PM and should provide the players with a slight amount of relief.

Pitch Condition/Report:

Chasing has been quite challenging in Dubai. In 12 matches here thus far, only twice the chasing teams got over the line while two games finished in a tie. The pitch has got something on offer for everyone. Batsmen should spend some time out in the middle before playing the big shots.

Average first innings score:

179 (Thus far at this venue in the tournament)

Record of chasing teams:

Won – 2, Lost – 8, Tied – 2

Faf du Plessis is the highest run-scorer for CSK with 307 runs from 7 games at an average of 61 and a strike rate of 148. He also has three fifties in the tournament.

David Warner has been working hard initially in his innings and has been getting the starts. However, he hasn’t been able to bat through the 20 overs and get big scores. His highest score of 60 is indicative of it. He scored 275 runs thus far.

Jonny Bairstow missed out in the last game but has scored 257 runs from 7 matches thus far. He registered three fifties already in the tournament.

Shane Watson has blown hot and cold so far in the tournament. But the opener can make it big if he gets going. He scored 199 runs with the bat thus far.

Rashid Khan is doing a fabulous job with the ball for SRH. In 7 matches, the leg-spinner picked up 10 wickets and has an economy rate of just 5.03.

Manish Pandey has played the anchor for his team. Thus far, he mustered 202 runs at an average of 29. He would look to improve upon that and be more consistent from here on.
