Match Analysis
The last match played at the Chepauk eight days ago saw the Super Kings pull off a second win over Mumbai Indians in the space of nine days. The Super Kings restricted Mumbai to 159/7 off their 20 overs, hitting their target for the loss of just two wickets with 11 balls to spare. Mumbai struck 10 sixes, with the Super Kings needing just seven as they comfortably cruised to the win.
The Chepauk track should present itself as its usual batting-friendly strip with a pacy outfield. Average scores are usually heading towards 190, with some early life for the pacemen before the pitch slows down and rewards the spinners with some turn.
The last 10 matches have see the pacemen pick up 68 wickets compared to 35 wickets taken by spinners.
Weather reports suggest that Chennai will have cloudy weather with plenty of humidity and temperatures around 28.3˚C. There is a good chance of rain at some point in the match. The weather is likely to produce evening dew which will encourage captains to choose to bat second.
