Weather Report / Pitch report
The weather at Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai is predicted to have thundershower with periodic clouds in the sky throughout the game. The maximum temperature will reach 31°C during the play. Bad news for the fans as there is a 40% chance of rain interrupting the play.
Chepauk, Chennai has consistently been a good surface for batters over the years. However, the pitch in the last game was totally different; there was less to zero assistance for the bowlers. Because of the good weather the seamers will get a bit of help from the surface which slows the game as it progresses.
