Ruturaj Gaikwad failed to score his second consecutive century, but Daryl Mitchell and Shivam Dube combined for an unbreakable 107-run partnership to lead CSK past Sunrisers Hyderabad by 78 runs at MA Chidambaram Stadium.
Natarajan takes his second turn with the ball. Starting off wide, two singles come off of the over and then length ball is hit for another four by SRH. In this article, we will discuss the main point of india national cricket team vs pakistan national cricket team match scorecard.
SRH vs CSK
Game on in SRH as they bat and are struggling to match their run rate. Captain Ruturaj Gaikwad is just two runs short of reaching his fourth hundred this season while Shivam Dube averages two runs per ball batting for his team. With dew making conditions favorable to batsmen, can CSK bowlers limit host scores?
SRH require 132 runs from 76 balls in order to win, yet still trail heavily at this point in time. There’s still hope of making this match competitive as the pitch remains sticky but should continue to improve for their batsmen as the day wears on.
Natarajan strikes out for SRH with an excellent first over. A wide and two singles set off an explosive start before an incredible straight drive from Gaikwad at long on for four and then over long on by Natarajan result in another straight drive for six in front of an excited Chepauk crowd.
Shardul Thakur to Abdul Samad: 1 run; an accurate fast ball on the off stump from Shardul strikes home and Abdul sways confidently into crease before pulling confidently towards long on.
Heinrich Klaasen takes over and needs to cover a lot of ground with his back leg to the wicket. When trying to slog it he doesn’t get enough power and elevation on it so Jadeja catches it at long-on.
SRH won the toss and elected to bowl
Pat Cummins won the toss and elected to bowl at M.A Chidambaram Stadium against CSK on Sunday evening, opting to bowl. Cummins chose this pitch which they used against Gujarat Titans earlier this season when scoring 200; its dry surface with minimal sheen allows little assistance for spinners while its subtle slope could favour batsmen over bowlers according to Samuel Badree and Anjum Chopra’s match report.
Belligerent have enough firepower in their batting line-up to post a respectable total on an otherwise slow pitch, however conditions might present them with an opportunity. Abhishek Sharma and Shahbaz Ahmed’s left-arm spin cannons Abhishek Sharma and Shahbaz Ahmed could make life tough for their top order, creating difficult conditions to bat in.
SRH are without their injured pacer Bhuvneshwar Kumar for bowling duties and as a result have chosen uncapped left-arm spinner Lockie Ferguson in place of Mayank Markande. Meanwhile RCB have left their playing XI unchanged; Glenn Maxwell and Moeen Ali may no longer feature but captain Faf du Plessis has included players such as Andre Russell, Lockie Ferguson and Mohammed Siraj in his side.
SRH bowled
Few days ago, it would have seemed unthinkable for Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) to make it to the playoffs without their top order firing, yet now they are in contention not only for play-off spot but are challenging Mumbai Indians as one of this season’s big challengers. Hyderabad franchise’s batting prowess has played a large part in this feat but their bowling attack led by captain Pat Cummins also deserves much credit; Bhuvneshwar Kumar’s new-ball skills, T Natarajan’s variations and yorkers as well as his leadership during middle overs and death overs have contributed immensely towards SRH’s rise up the table this season.
SRH displayed their tactical nous against LSG and continued it during their match against Gujarat Titans at Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium. Slower short balls were employed to slow down Gujarat batsmen who are known for their big hitting abilities. Field placement awareness by SRH kept long on and long off areas under constant threat with their field placements.
SRH’s bowlers made liberal use of slower bouncers, one of the primary reasons why Gujarat batsmen struggled to score runs on an otherwise conducive surface for stroke play. Their bowlers even employed this variation during death overs and it went unused by their batsmen.
Mayank Markande and Shahbaz Ahmed provided crucial support in the death overs for SRH this season, but their skipper has stood out with an outstanding economy rate of 7.40 in this tournament, helping keep run rates under control while keeping scoring to a minimum.
SRH scored 134 runs
After losing two early wickets, SRH rallied and battled back into contention before collapse towards the end caused them to lose by just one run. Jaiswal and Parag’s 134-run partnership in the middle innings was instrumental in their comeback – both batsmen smashed seven sixes and three fours as they helped their team post an equal total.
Jaiswal got off to a strong start by hitting his first boundary off the second ball of each over. After smashing bowler through the covers with three deliveries he hit one over long on for maximum, followed by another off five deliveries.
Nitish and Klaasen had impressive batting displays for SRH. Together, they scored an outstanding 86 run stand off just 37 balls for the third wicket before going on to share another 50-run stand for just 32 balls at fourth wicket.
However, despite an excellent start, SRH lost wickets at regular intervals in the latter stages of their innings and found themselves constantly playing catch up in this contest.
Mumbai came back strongly, dispatching their opponents with just one ball remaining to secure a convincing win over Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH). Pandya looked sharp as ever just in time for the T20 World Cup while Chawla gave them some concern with her aggressive batting.
SRH lost the toss and elected to bowl
Defending champions have been struggling recently and two consecutive losses has placed them into an untenable situation, forcing them to quickly rebound against an impressive SRH team in this matchup.
This toss was crucial in this game and SRH elected for bowling as they expected dew to have an impact later in the day. Furthermore, Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium tends to favor teams that bat second.
SRH batsmen struggled to manage the pressure in their first innings and were unable to score big runs. Even their middle order found it difficult picking up runs until eventually reaching a respectable total at the end of the game.
In their batting department, SRH relies heavily on Travis Head and Henrich Klaasen but are struggling with both players this season. Their other batting lineup has also been disappointing which may explain why SRH have struggled so badly this year.
SRH made one change as Wriddhiman Saha missed due to injury and Shreevats Goswami came in. For the visitors, three changes have been made as Chris Morris, Joshua Phillipe and Shahbaz Ahmed all dropped due to injuries; their places will be taken by Aaron Finch, Adam Zampa and Navdeep respectively. It is anticipated that both teams will put on an exciting match that offers assistance for bowlers – hopefully leading them both towards playoff contention! This clash should provide both teams an important opportunity – crucial matches will determine who makes the playoffs!
