IPL 2018, Qualifier 1: 5 reasons why Chennai Super Kings can beat Sunrisers Hyderabad

#4 Sunrisers' recent performances with the ball

Have the other teams cracked SRH's code to success?

Sunrisers Hyderabad was touted to have the best bowling in the tournament, but their performances in the last four matches are definitely a cause of concern.

Sunrisers Hyderabad's bowlers, who gave away more than 170 only twice in the first ten games, conceded more than 170 in all the last four matches.

SRH's leading wicket-taker, Siddarth Kaul, who had an economy rate of 7.05 in first 10 matches, had an economy rate of 10.53 in the last four encounters.

The same was the case with all other SRH bowlers except Rashid Khan. If CSK can get to dominate Rashid, it can be game over for the Hyderabad based franchise in Qualifier 1.

The batting performance of CSK on the previous two encounters between the table-toppers is a testimony of the domination of Chennai's batting over Sunrisers' bowling.

In the two leagues matches against CSK, SRH has conceded runs at an economy rate of 9.28, highest for any side against SRH. Chennai Super Kings will look to continue the dominance and will aim at becoming the first team to make it to playoffs.
