IPL 6: Match 54 – SRH vs CSK – A statistical preview

There has been only one meeting between the Sunrisers Hyderabad and Chennai Super Kings earlier this season at Chennai, and it was the hosts who emerged victorious. After restricting the visitors to 159 for six, CSK – on the back of MS Dhoni’s assault – got past the target in the final over, winning by five wickets.

MS Dhoni has scored the most runs off Dale Steyn in the IPL – 76 from 42 balls. It’s the maximum amount of runs Steyn has conceded to any batsman in the IPL.

The average first innings total in IPL matches at the RGI Stadium this season is 118, which is the lowest among all the venues which have hosted matches this season.

S Badrinath seems to like the number 34- he has three scores of 34 this season.

Spinners seem to love the Hyderabad track as the overall economy rate of spinners in the five matches at the RGI stadium this season is a paltry 5.64.

What next for the teams: Sunrisers Hyderabad will next be seen in action at Mohali when they take on Kings XI Punjab on May 11.

Meanwhile, Chennai Super Kings head north to Jaipur to take on the Rajasthan Royals the following day.
