CSK vs RCB, DY Patil Stadium. A game for the pride of Southern Derby. Chennai Super Kings haven't won any match in the IPL 2022 yet. Royal Challengers Bangalore are on a good winning track so far and lost only one match. Return of Maxwell and now Hazlewood is sign of strength for RCB. CSK has no good news in their camp. Deepak Chahar is still injured and will not play anytime soon.
CSK has more floating hitters than a proper batters in the middle-order. Dube, Ali, and Jadeja are the current middle-order. Instead of Dube, Jadeja should promote MS Dhoni up in the order. For CSK to demolish RCB's top order, Pretorius is the key bowler. He dismissed Plessis three times in the T20s. Jadeja has no faith in Moeen Ali's off-spin capabilities and hence he is not given any crucial overs to bowl. Tonight, Ali can be used against Rawat and Kohli. Hengargekar was seen sweating hard since before IPL 2022 began. But he is not given any opportunity in the playing 11. CSK lost four consecutive matches. There is no harm in changing few strategies.
RCB will be without Harshal Patel in tonight's game. This is a huge blow to RCB's bowling. But good news is that Hazlewood is available for selection. However, it seems like only Willey can be replaced. Hasaranga has been very successful against right-hand batters this season. Out of eight wickets, seven were right-hand batters. Maxwell dismissed Ali twice in four innings!
