IPL 2018, Qualifier 2: KKR vs SRH: 3 areas for SRH to work on to get back to winning ways

#1 They must get their death bowling plans sorted out

Rashid Khan has been SRH's go to bowler

Among the reasons for SRH’s losing streak heading into their playoff clash against KKR is the disappointing performance of their bowlers at the death overs. Let’s not go too far back and instead dissect what went wrong against CSK.

Rashid Khan was in imperious touch with his spell of 4-0-11-2 and even the likes of Al Hasan and Bhuvneshwar Kumar pulled the game away from CSK through their relentless bowling efforts.

Where the game slipped away is what Williamson has to address. The 17th and 18th overs completely swung the momentum in favor of CSK and allowed them to be victorious.

Could the skipper have held back Khan? Could he have bowled Bhuvi in the 17th over instead of Braithwaite?

These are some points for SRH to take note of. When you world class bowlers in Rashid Khan and Bhuvneshwar Kumar in your team, they must not finish their quota of overs too early.

Especially in a high-pressure game at the Eden Gardens, the last few overs must be given to Khan, Siddharth Kaul and Kumar and no one else.

If they modify their plans for the death overs and execute them, then SRH can surely reach the finals of VIVO IPL 2018.
