Indian T20 League 2023

CHE vs HYD, 29th Match

Preview

As CHE hosts HYD for game 29th game of the Indian T20 League, Chennai  will attempt to maintain its winning streak.

CHE has a one-sided head-to-head record against HYD compared to the other teams. They have defeated Hyderabad in 14 games out of 19, while the Orange Army has only triumphed in 5. The Game will be played on 21st April 2023 at 07:30 PM IST in Chennai’s MA Chidambaram Stadium.

The CHE had their worst-ever League performance in the previous season when they placed ninth on the table. However, they have improved this time since they have won three of their last five games, placing them in the Top-4.

The Chennai batters have played with disciplined batting thus far, with Ruturaj Gaikwad leading the batting in total runs scored. In the previous two games, and was in terrific form.

Ajinkya Rahane and Shivam Dube have also made vital contributions. However, the team will need MS Dhoni and Ravindra Jadeja in the final overs to accelerate more quickly. Tushar Deshpande has taken the most wickets for CSK this season in the bowling unit but at a higher economy rate.

On a similar path, players like Pathirana and Theekshana have conceded runs at a pace of more than 10 per over. But, on the other hand, the all-rounders Moeen Ali and Ravindra Jadeja have taken 12 wickets and done a better job of controlling the batters in the middle overs.

Due to their uneven play this year, the HYD is now ranked in the bottom half of the points standings.

Despite their occasional strong performances, the squad has suffered dramatically due to the batters' inconsistent performance. Harry Brook, who was expected to be one of the most exciting players this season, has struggled with consistency, as he has yet to get going apart from that only century.

Thanks to players like Abhishek Sharma, Mayank Agarwal, Heinrich Klaasen, and Aiden Markram, the HYD boasts a strong batting lineup on paper, but this strength has yet to convert into success on the pitch. Hence, Hyderabad will rely heavily on its pacers in this situation.

Bhuvaneshwar Kumar, Umran Malik, T Natarajan, and Marco Jansen are among their top seamers, and Markram will depend on them to bowl a controlled line and length. In his three appearances this season, Mayank Markande has been remarkable, and he expects to bowl another strong session against the strengthened batting lineup of CHE.

Pitch and Weather Report 

Due to its steady bounce, the surface at Chennai's Chepauk Stadium is excellent for batting. To allow their bowlers some breathing space, teams batting first will want to reach as near the 200-run threshold as possible. Nevertheless, the dry surface has cracks, and the spinners will start to revolve as the game progresses. Temperatures of around 30°C are anticipated with continued clear skies.

Match Prediction

We favor the CHE in this match in light of both teams' recent results and head-to-head records. They are a more complete squad than the HYD, and playing at home provides them an edge over Markram’s side. Also, the batting order of CHE is in top form, and HYD has never won a game in Chepauk.

Top Fantasy Picks

CHE’s Opener, Devon Conway, is in excellent form. He enters this game hoping to reach his third straight fifty. He’s one of the top contenders for the Orange Cap this year, which makes him a good C/VC choice.

Right-arm fast bowler Tushar Deshpande took wickets at crucial moments in the most recent game, giving him 10 wickets for the competition. He was also in the Top 5 wicket-takers in the league.

The South African wicketkeeper-batter Heinrich Klaasen can score runs at the bottom of the middle order. He scored 36 runs off 16 balls against the Mumbai Indians, hitting four fours and two sixes. He’s been playing a good finisher role till now.

The tall South African left-armer Marco Jansen has taken two wickets in the last game against MUM. He picked the dangerous duo of Ishan Kishan and Suryakumar Yadav. He can bowl well on this pitch and conditions.

Risky Captaincy Choice

Young England right-hander Harry Brook plays so aggressively that he sometimes loses games for low scores, but he also can win this one for HYD. He plays pace at good SR, and Chepauk's pitch is expected to support pacers in the first half of the game. If he bats well on his day, he’ll be unstoppable.
