SRH vs CSK IPL 2022 Match Prediction

Sunrisers Hyderabad Team Preview

The Sunrisers Hyderabad got off to a really poor start in this year's IPL, but they have dramatically turned their fortunes around with some scintillating displays, and they are now on for one of the best IPL seasons that they have had in a long time. Thanks to five wins from their last six matches, they are now in 4th place in the IPL table with 10 points to their name, and they have a positive Net Run Rate of +0.600, which is always handy.

Their last match was against the Gujurat Titans, and with the GT needing more than 20 runs to win off the last over, they would have been confident of making it 6 wins from their last 6 games. However, Rashid Khan helped himself to 3 sixes and saw his team home against his old franchise. While this would have been disappointing, the SRH should not dwindle on it too much since this happens in this format of the game.

The GT won the coin toss and decided to field first, which meant that they were tasked with putting a score on the board. They did exactly this thanks to a 65 from 42 balls by Abhishek Sharma, a 56 from 40 balls by Aidan Markram and a quick fire 25 from 6 balls by Shashank Singh. When their 20 overs had been bowled, they had 195 runs on the board.

Many sports bettors, even those who do not consider themselves to be huge fans of cricket, love to do a bit of online cricket betting from time to time because cricket is one of those sports that have a wide variety of markets, which means that entertainment is not in short supply. In our opinion, one of the more entertaining markets that punters can bet on is Top Batsman, and we do suggest that you try it out every so often.

So, who do we believe will be the top scorer for the SRH against the Chennai Super Kings? Well, going on current form, we would put our money on Markram. The South African has scored 246 runs in 6 matches at an average of 123.00 and a strike rate of 131.34. He is at the top of his game, and will definitely give you a good chance of making a tidy profit.

With 195 runs on the board, the SRH would have been pretty confident of adding another 2 points to their tally, and they came ever so close to doing so. However, some big hitting down the order saw the GT carry on with their amazing start to the 15th edition of the IPL. They chased down this big score courtesy of 2 sixes off the final 2 balls by Khan.

The pick of the bowlers for SRH was Umran Malik, who picked up all 5 wickets to fall for just 25 runs. It really was a scintillating bowling display, and he did not deserve to end up on the losing team. Marco Jansen was really expensive in this match, conceding 63 runs from the 4 overs that he bowled, giving him an economy of 15.75, while T. Natarajan, who has been so reliable with ball in hand, had an off day, and conceded 43 runs from 4 overs.

IF you would like to do a bit of IPL betting and bet on the Top Bowler for the SRH, then who would we suggest you place your hard-earned money on? Well, we would opt for Malik - the kid has been one of the finds of the tournament and bowls with some express pace. To date, he has picked up 15 wickets from 8 matches at an average of 15.93 and an economy of 7.97.

Will the SRH make any changes to their playing XI for this match against their rivals? Well, they have all played a part in their remarkable run of form, and we do not see anyone being dropped, even those who had a poor match against the GT. We expect to see the same playing XI take to the field this time out.

Chennai Super Kings Team Preview

When the 2022 Indian Premier League got underway, the Chennai Super Kings was one of the favourites to go on and win the title. However, they have been quite poor throughout, and now have just a slim chance of making it the Play-Offs. They currently sit in 9th place with just 2 wins from 8 matches and have a NRR of -0.538. They are 6 points off of 4th spot, so they need some turn of form if they are going to book a spot in the Play-Offs.

Their last match was against the Punjab Kings, and they lost the match by 11 runs. The CSK won the toss and decided to bowl first, and they could only restrict the PBKS to a score of 187, which was a pretty good score on the surface that they were playing on. Shikhar Dhawan was their main tormentor, scoring 88 runs from 59 balls, while Bhanuka Rajapaksa chipped in with 42 runs from 32 balls.

The pick of the bowlers for the CSK was Dwayne Bravo, who picked up 2 wickets, but he was quite expensive since he went for 42 runs from his 4 overs. However, he was not as expensive as Dwaine Pretorius, who conceded 50 runs from the 4 overs that he bowled. Mitchell Santner bowled well, conceding just 8 runs from 2 overs, so it was a surprise he did not bowl another over or two.

If you are heading to IPL betting sites to make a bet on the Top Bowler for the CSK, who would we recommend you put your money on? Well, we would be tempted to put our money on Bravo, since he has been their best bowler in this competition. He has picked up 14 wickets from 8 matches, and has an average of 18.50 and an economy of 8.73.

With 187 runs to chase down, the CSK knew that they needed to get off to a good start, but this was not the case as they found themselves 40/3 with 7 overs on the board. Overall, 5 of their batsmen failed to pass 20, and the only player who kept them in the chase was Ambati Rayudu, who smashed 78 off 39 balls. However, his fitness levels are poor, and towards the end, he was on his haunches and could not see his team home.

If you would like to place an IPL prediction on who will end up being the best batsman for the CSK against the SRH, then who would we bet on? Well, this is tricky because their batsmen have been so inconsistent throughout the competition, which is why we would probably recommend you do not bet on this market for them. However, if you really want to, then go for Shivam Dube - he has 247 runs from 8 matches at an average of 35.29.

Will they make any changes to their playing XI? Well, in all honesty, even if they do make a change, we do not see it making that much of a difference. They just do not have the squad depth that some other franchises have. We actually think that the same XI will play in this game.

Toss Prediction

At the start of this competition, dew was a huge problem that the captains had to take into consideration at the toss. However, dew has started to become less of a problem, and it seems to be less of a problem at the MCA Stadium, where this match will be played. Also, the pitches seem to be slowing down a little now, so it could end up being a real advantage to bat first. Therefore, when it comes to making a toss prediction for this match, we think that the winning captain could go against the grain and opt to bat first and hope to put plenty of scoreboard pressure on their opponents.

Pitch Conditions

As we mentioned above, this match will be played at the MCA Stadium, and this venue has had an average score when batting first of 169, which makes it the lowest-scoring venue in the tournament. The teams batting first at this venue have won 63% of the time, which is yet another reason why we think that the winning captain at the toss will decide to bat first. The team that bats first, whether they decide to do so or are put in, will look to score around 180 runs, and this will be a hard score to beat on this pitch.
