Sunrisers Hyderabad would like to make a comeback after suffering a crushing defeat in the first two matches of the 15th season of the Indian Premier League. They will face Chennai Super Kings in the first match of the double head on Saturday. This team has lost in three consecutive matches. Captain Kane Williamson would like to put the team on the winning track but for this he will need to make changes in the playing XI.
who is the opening pair
The opening pair of captain Kane Williamson and Abhishek Sharma, who opened the innings in the first two matches, will have to score runs for the team. For the first wicket against Rajasthan, both were able to add only 3 runs while with Lucknow only 25 runs. Only if the innings starts well will the team be able to reach the big score.
who in the middle order
Experienced Rahul Tripathi and Nicholas Pooran batted very well in the last match. Tripathi’s 44 while Pooran’s 34-run knock saved the middle order from disintegrating. Both of them will have to play responsibly in today’s match as well. Adam Markram scored a half-century in the first match while scoring 12 runs in the second match. Abdul Samad is constantly failing for the team. They have to live up to the trust of the management.
bowling skills
The team can make a change in the bowling, in place of Umran, Karthik Tyagi can be given a chance. Umran has the pace but is unable to catch the exact line. Fast bowlers like experienced Bhuvneshwar Kumar Karthik and Romario Shepherd can trouble Chennai. T Natarajan is bowling very well. Washington Sundar had done very well with the bowling in the last match. He took wickets in the powerplay.
