Johnny Bairstow (63* runs) and David Warner (37 runs) gave a good start with a 77-run opening partnership.

Sidharth Kaul, Khaleel Ahmed, and Sandeep Sharma are expected to play as the pace bowlers with Vijay Shankar slotting as the fourth seamer of the team. Bhuvaneshwar will be missed in this match.

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS

Weather Conditions

Chennai will have a hot and humid weather on the match day and dew might come into play in the late night.  

Venue Details

Chennai has been the slower track with variable bounce so far. The slower balls and cutters are too tough to judge on this track and batsmen are finding it difficult to score runs. We expect scores in range of 150 -160 runs in this match.

Toss: To Bowl

Chasing teams have won the last 3 matches at this venue but any score above 150 will be tough to chase here. Teams batting first still have a 5-4 win-loss ratio at this venue.
