Chennai SuperKings as well as the Rajasthan Royals have made it to the top just after Delhi,after an initial setback in the tournament.They have come back strongly into the games so far.Though both the teams have 11 points each,Chennai manages to just nudge out Royals with a net Run-rate as good as +1.281.Both these teams have used their powerplays so well to get into a good position from the start.
The Chennai SuperKings have one of the impressive batting line ups.Also the Royals have good batsmen who can take away the match at any point of the game.So batting proves to be their strengths.So today's game will be very important for both the teams.So its almost like Yusuf Vs Hayden and Smith Vs Raina.
The Chennai SuperKings have a prolific batsman in Hayden,who can just get over and dominate any bowler in any wicket.Raina and Dhoni too come to our rescue to put a good total on the board.Also the lower order trio of Morkel,Badri,and Bailey may be a concern for the Royals.As the bowling department is concerned, Morkel, Tyagi, Balaji, Jakati,Murali and also with Raina chipping into that list,Dhoni has a variety of options to switch over.
On the other hand,Royals's opening batsmen Ojha and Smith are getting tough to handle.Also they will be looking forward to those big ones from Yusuf and Quiney.SupeKings really have a job here in getting rid of the dangerous Yusuf.And the last recognizable batsmen Jadeja and Mascarenhas have been giving good inputs to the team.Royals's bowling will start with Amit.And nobody is able to take Kamran's place,it shows void.Warne will have to bring Yusuf and him early into the attack.
So the game is evenly poised.Still,my heart desires for Chennai.My best wishes to SuperKings.
