Cricket News: IPL 2020 - Hyderabad to face Chennai in Dubai

Hyderabad will take on Chennai in Dubai in match number 29 of IPL 2020. Three-time champions Chennai now have an uphill task to keep their play-off hopes alive. The main concern for MS Dhoni led side is the lacklustre form of their batsmen. Openers Shane Watson and Faf du Plessis look good with the bat, the others have let the side down, including Dhoni. Neither Ambati Rayudu nor Kedhar Jadhav have made any impact. Hyderabad's left arm pacers Khaleel Ahmed and T Natrajan have been doing well despite the absence of experienced pacer Bhuvneshwar Kumar. Spinner Rashid Khan has led the bowling attack picking up 10 wickets in 7 matches and is 2nd in the list of IPL 2020 leading wicket-takers. Hyderabad skipper David Warner and opener Jonny Bairstow have been among the runs and even Manish Pandey showed signs of getting back his touch with a scintillating 54 against Rajasthan in their last game. Warner has amassed 275 runs in 7 matches while Bairstow has 257 runs in 7 matches and they are placed 5th and 6th respectively in the list of IPL 2020 leading run-scorers.
