Chepauk is typically known as a spin-friendly surface that becomes slower during the second innings. However, based on previous seasons, the pitch has remained flat throughout, and dew is unlikely to affect how the game plays out.
The climate in Chennai will be hot, humid, and clear. We will have a full game.

Chennai Super Kings and Royal Challengers Bangalore have a track record of producing thrilling matches. Last year, RCB defeated CSK in their last group-stage game to secure a playoff berth. This season, they appear more polished, and their first-round victory over KKR will boost their confidence. However, Chepauk has been an advantage for CSK, with only one defeat to RCB in nine meetings there. The surface suits their playing style, which gives them an advantage. Expect a hard-fought fight, but Chennai's home record should help them win in the end. Considering the team combination, Chennai Super Kings is expected to win this match.
