Average score
The average score in T20 matches at the Chepauk in Chennai is around 150-160. This could change depending on which side bats first with Delhi not expected to score as much against Chennai’s spinners.
Pitch and conditions
The pitch here is good for spinners and the middle overs will be a tough period for most batting sides to get through. Both sides have quality spinners and run-scoring could be difficult with the pitch sluggish and low.
Players to keep an eye on…
CSK Predicted playing XI:
Devon Conway, Ruturaj Gaikwad, Ajinkya Rahane, Shivam Dube, Ambati Rayudu, Ravindra Jadeja, Moeen Ali, MS Dhoni, Deepak Chahar, Maheesh Theekshana, Matheesha Pathirana
DC Predicted playing XI:
David Warner, Phil Salt, Mitchell Marsh, Manish Pandey, Axar Patel, Rilee Rossouw, Aman Khan, Ripal Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, Khaleel Ahmed, Mukesh Kumar
Devon Conway: The New Zealand opener ahs thrived against mediocre bowling attacks, even on slow wickets and could go big here.
Axar Patel: With focus on spin, expect Axar Patel to dominate the middle overs for Delhi and also bat higher up the order with the bat to counter the likes of Jadeja and Theekshana.
