Pitch Report: Chepauk is simply a spin-paradise wicket, where every ball does something for tweakers. But it often helps pacers, especially those who vary their pace, as well. The wicket at Chepauk for this match will be no different. So, trust bowlers to come on top.
Weather: A clear day with temperature looming around 31 Celsius. It won’t be too humid, meaning dew might not be a factor in the 2nd innings.

Nitish Rana (Kolkata): The Kolkata captain plays spin really well and lets the ball come to him, which is key at Chepauk. He has been in good touch as well, so one can expect him to come good in this game. He would bat in the middle and face most of the spin overs.
Matheesha Pathirana (Chennai) [Captain]: Pathirana’s slingy action often leaves batters bamboozled. Chepauk’s wicket helps his style of bowling as he varies his face and bowls stump-to-stump line. He bowls at the death and is more likely to finish amongst the wickets. He would be our differential captain pick for this game.
Moeen Ali (Chennai): The England all-rounder might not have been at his best with the bat this season but his bowling has been top-notch. He enjoys bowling at Chepauk and might hit a few big blows as well. He would be a top pick for this game for his all-round abilities.
