Dhoni: We’ll bowl first because of the smaller dimensions and looks like a fresh wicket. When you keep playing here, it tends to slow down. It may not be as slow as the other wickets today. In a tournament like this, it becomes difficult to come back. This year, all the boys have been brilliant. Taking one game at a time helps. We are thinking about executing our plans. Bravo comes back for Sam.
CSK beat SRH Highlights – Once again below par batting by Sunrisers: Pitch Report
Matthew Hayden –
“The roller has been doing plenty of heavy-lifting on this flat surface. The wicket has gone back to more of a traditional Sharjah surface. It’s actually got the kind of sheen to it which traditionally means that it’s really good to bat on. Tough for the bowlers tonight. Powerplay for both teams is going to be absolutely key, so watch out for the big guns up the top of both these batting line-ups. Otherwise, I think it’s going to be a real battle of attrition. One thing is for certain though, it’s going to be a bit bigger scoring match tonight.”
