Hyderabad will take on Chennai in the 44th match of the Indian T20 League on Thursday, 30th of September. The match is scheduled in the Sharjah Cricket Stadium. Chennai is in an enormous form. With 16 points they are sitting at the top of the points table and have a net run rate of +1.069. On the other hand, Hyderabad is lying at the bottom of the table and has no hope of qualifying for the playoffs.
Hyderabad is coming from a victory in their previous match and so is Chennai. Chennai won against Kolkata in quite a thriller match. Jadeja's performance in the death overs saved Chennai from losing the match. Hyderabad had an easy win against Rajasthan, but this time, against Chennai, they will have to bring out some better strategies to pull off a win.
Chennai has a complete squad with in-form batsmen in every order, be it opening, middle or finishers. With Faf du Plessis and Moeen Ali, they look good in the middle order and on top of that Jadeja's brutal innings against Kolkata combined with skipper Dhoni promises Chennai a superb set of finishers.
Hyderabad is struggling with almost everything. They did not have their former skipper on the field in the last match and unfortunately that would not have made any difference too, considering his form in the league.
