This match will be played at MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. Concerning the pitch of this stadium, MA Chidambaram’s pitch is slow. In the last match between Lucknow Super Giants and Chennai Super Kings, 14 wickets fell despite scoring above 200.
This pitch usually breaks down as the game progresses, and the ball grips, helping the spinners. Usually, spinners also get the advantage of playing here due to the lack of grass in Chennai. The captain would like to bowl first after winning the toss here, as even a target of 170-175 runs seems too big on this pitch.
This match between Chennai Super Kings and Rajasthan Royals largely depends on both teams’ top order. Especially on the opening pair. Rajasthan Royals have the best and most formidable opening pair of the IPL season, while Chennai Super Kings are not far behind. Both the teams have played three matches each this season so far, and both have won 2-2 matches while losing one match each.
Talking about the weather in Chennai, today it is expected to be very hot in Chennai. The match is in the evening, but there will be strong sunlight throughout the day, and whose heat will also be felt in the evening. The wind will blow, but its speed will not give much relief.
