ESPNcricinfo IPL Fantasy League guide: Chennai Super Kings vs. Hyderabad Sunrisers
Another day of Indian Premier League (IPL) is upon us and it is not going to be anything short of thrilling as the Chennai Super Kings are ready to face the unpredictable Hyderabad Sunrisers in front of the home crowd.
Skipper MS Dhoni and his men in yellow have been doing pretty good in the season so far, though they would have liked to show a bit of more consistency. Michael Hussey has been the only batsmen in the top order that has been performing consistently for the Chennai Super Kings. Suresh Raina looked on song in the previous match, getting to a fifty before getting dismissed, and if the team is looking to do well against the deadly bowling of Hyderabad Sunrisers, then he will have to support Hussey well.
The visitors, on the other hand, have a bit of a handicap as they get ready to play their latest match. One of their most impactful players, Thisara Perera, will not be playing in the match as it is being played in Chennai, where the Sri Lankan players are banned. This will, however, open up a slot for Darren Sammy, allowing him to play his first game of the season.
There is one great news for the Hyderabad Sunriders fans. Shikhar Dhawan was seen practicing and is expected to participate in the match tonight.
The ESPNcricinfo IPL Fantasy League enthusiasts may be wondering about today’s top players to have in their team.
Taking the nature of pitch into account, which will prove to be batting friendly while at the same time give some assistance to the fast bowlers, Hussey and Dwayne Bravo of Chennai Super Kings would be an excellent choice. Pacer Mohit Sharma has done well in the previous matches and is expected to make an impact today as well.
From the Hyderabad Sunrisers side, Dhawan is a must for your team, though it is best to wait until the final team is announced so that it is confirmed that he really is in the playing 11. You should also consider having Dale Steyn and Amit Mishra in your team, as both the players are more than handy with the bowl.
