Defending champions Chennai Super Kings will lock horns with http://www.senore.com/Cricket/V-Sehwag-c2739-led Delhi Daredevils in the 11th match of the ongoing season five of Indian Premier League at the latter’s home ground, Feroz Shah Kotla today, April 10, 2012.
Both the sides come into the match with a win and a loss each. Chennai, after losing the this season’s curtain raiser to http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mumbai-c820 Indians, bounced back quickly in their second match, thrashing Deccan Chargers over the weekend. While the Daredevils, after starting
the season on a winning note against Kolkata Knight Riders, succumbed to a 22-run defeat at the hands Royal Challengers Bangalore on Sunday.
Whilst the tourists rode on http://www.senore.com/Cricket/RA-Jadeja-c2238’s all-round performance in their last match against Deccan, Delhi fell short on all counts as neither their bowlers nor their batsmen could take charge of proceedings. Though Morkel and Bracewell kept striking
at regular intervals, they could not halt the flow of runs, especially from de Villiers’ bat.
However, the inclusion of the likes of Sri Lankan skipper http://www.senore.com/Cricket/KP-Pietersen-c1806 is likely to give a much needed boost the Delhi’s batting in Tuesday’s match. The duo missed Delhi’s opening two IPL games due to national
duty, the two-match Test series in http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sri-Lanka-c758 which ended 1-1 over the weekend.
Sehwag and Co. Was desperate for the experienced pair at the top of the order, in the absence of explosive Australian opener http://www.senore.com/Cricket/West-Indies-c760 till 27th of this month.
The Sri Lankan skipper will in all probability open the innings with skipper Virender Sehwag, while KP will take his usual No.3 or 4 spot in the order. Opener http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Aaron-Finch-c881 will make way for the Sri Lankan while KP will come into the squad at the expanse of
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Glenn-Maxwell-c60189.
The rest of the squad is likely to go unchanged, especially their bowling department, featuring the likes of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Doug-Bracewell-c1394.
Chennai, on the other hand, are likely to http://www.senore.com/Cricket/M-Vijay-c1867 who failed to impress in the last two matches with scores of 10 and 2. If
it happens, either http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Faf-du-Plessis-c1427 on Tuesday night.
Dhoni himself has been struggling with the bat of late as he has scored just 11 runs in two innings. The Ranchi boy needs to score runs to remind his critics of what he can do on his day.
Chennai’s bowling was outstanding the other night with Ravindra Jadeja leading from the front with five for 16 in a spell of four overs. Jadeja will be complimented by R Ashwin and S Jakati in the spin department. http://www.senore.com/Cricket/DE-Bollinger-c1348 will be the only specialist
seamer on the CSK roster.
Though the Daredevils will be relishing on home conditions tonight, Chennai will go into the match as slight favourites.
