And Steyn starts off with a maiden! The strategy is not to offer any width to Hussey who slashes hard at it. ==================================================================================== TOSS: Sanga has won the toss and Sunrisers Hyderabad will bowl first. The defeat against Mumbai Indians isn’t something which would still be hurting the mighty Dhoni-led side and they would be desperate to bounce back like champions. Chennai were bowled out for 79 runs while chasing 139 as only three of their batsmen managed to reach double figures. The bowlers did a commendable job by restricting Mumbai to 139 but the batsmen couldn’t do much after a superb opening spell by Mitchell Johnson who dismissed three batsmen in his second over after Pollard dropped Michael Hussey on three successive occasions in his first over. Dhoni hasn’t been able to deliver with the bat in the last couple of games and this could be his time to show the opponents what his side is capable of. Sunrisers Hyderabad on the other hand have been impressive right throughout the tournament with their potent bowling attack and ever since Dhawan joined the side, they have become a force to reckon with. Dhawan has scored two half-centuries out of the four matches he has played so far and team heavily depends on him to get them to a respectable total. Amit Mishra, Steyn and Perera Perera have done a decent job so far and the form of Darren Sammy is something which has helped them make an impact in the points table.
