Description
SRH, on the other hand, appeared to have ironed out their middle-order concerns with the return of Kane Williamson, but the lack of sixth bowling option could be a worrisome factor if they stick with the same combination tonight. Vijay Shankar, if fit, might replace Priyam Garg, but would they be tempted to include an extra spinner in the form of Shahbaz Nadeem? CSK's Shane Watson has had his fair share of problems against left-arm tweakers and that weakness was yet again accentuated by Axar Patel, in their last game, who got Watto out inside the powerplay. CSK have won five out of their last six games against SRH and if anything, they will look to draw some inspiration from that record to get their campaign back on track.

CSK's woes have been compounded by the fact that they played the first game at two out of the three venues, and didn't have any prior data to base their strategies on. Dew too has played hide-and-seek in all the three venues, messing with the decisions that captains take at the toss. What's perhaps been most disheartening for Dhoni is his spinners' failure to take control of matches in the middle-overs. Ravindra Jadeja's ineffectiveness in particular [2/42, 0/40, 0/44] has stung CSK, leaving them vulnerable to a counter-attack in the post-PowerPlay period.
