PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS

Weather Conditions

Chennai is expected to have a better weather with just 30-40% chances of rain on the match day. We expect it to make a short appearance to bring DLS equation into consideration.

Venue Details

MA Chidambaram stadium has been aiding the pacers with seam movement due to overcast conditions and breeze across the oceans for the last few matches. Batsmen will need to apply themselves and see off the new ball to score freely. We expect the runs to be around 150-160 runs in this match.

Toss: To Bowl

Chasing is the best option when DLS equation and rain threat comes into picture in the T20 matches. Both captains will look to bowl first in this match.
