Analysis

The Chennai Super Kings returned to winning ways after demolishing Sunrisers Hyderabad by 78 runs at home. The CSK batting which seemed out-of-sorts returned to top form with the misfiring Daryl Mitchell scoring his first 50 of the season. On the bowling front, CSK continued their age-old strategy of picking up wickets in each phase and bundled out SRH for the first time this season.

On the other hand, the Punjab Kings have discovered some incredible players in a topsy-turvy season which saw the side win three games from nine games. The PBKS batting, which completed the highest chase in T20 history, will receive a massive boost with the return of captain Shikhar Dhawan. In contrast, the bowling has shown glimpses of brilliance but has lacked consistency.
