Expert Take:
- Controlled Matchup: Pat Cummins has kept Dube relatively quiet across 3 innings. While Dube has managed a six and a four, his total strike rate of 118.75 suggests he hasn’t quite broken free.
- Decent Economy: Cummins has bowled economically at 7.12 runs per over when bowling to Dube, showing his ability to restrict big-hitters like him.
- Dismissal Record: Cummins has dismissed Dube once, which makes the face-off more interesting this time around as CSK will depend on Dube for those finishing runs.
Dube has been CSK’s powerful middle-order batter this season, often stepping up in pressure moments. But with Cummins leading the SRH bowling unit and bringing international experience, this battle could again be a game-changer. If Dube gets going, he can tilt the game in CSK’s favor — but if Cummins gets him early, SRH might just tighten the grip.
This Dube vs Cummins clash is one of the mini-battles that can define the bigger war tonight. With both teams needing a win to stay in playoff contention, every individual contest counts.
