Chennai played against Rajasthan Royals in the previous game, where Rajasthan was sent to bat first. After losing a wicket early, Nitish Rana played a fantastic counter-attacking knock of 81 off just 36 balls, but then CSK bowlers pulled the game back by restricting them to 182. Even though Chennai lost the game by just six runs, they were never really in the chase, and even a half-century knock from Gaikwad could not save them.

Delhi had fought against Sunrisers Hyderabad in their last match where batting first, Hyderabad was completely decimated by Mitchell Starc, taking five wickets on his own. It took a sensational knock from the young Aniket Verma to take them to a score of 163 but it was never enough. Capitals batters were right on the money from the first ball and won the game by seven wickets with four overs to spare.

The surface of Chennai's MA Chidambaram Stadium provides a fair game of bat and ball. Although there isn't much seam movement on the track, swing bowlers typically receive some movement from the new ball in the air.

In Chennai, the spinners receive fair turn, even if the surface's bounce and pace may be perfect for stroke play. Actually, in the most recent game, spinners on both teams had a significant impact. It's interesting to note that the chasing teams have won seven of their previous eleven games in Chennai. The toss-winner will, therefore, probably bowl first unless the track is exceptionally dry.  

AccuWeather predicts that Chennai's MA Chidambaram Stadium will be hot at approximately 35°C, with a genuine feel of precisely 42°C during the day and 27°C at night with a real feel of 33°C. Meanwhile, the wind will blow from the southeast at a range of 11 to 15 km/h with gusts of 30 to 41 km/h. A very hot and humid day with humidity around 73% is predicted, along with a 7% chance of precipitation at night. As a result, even though the weather will be good for an exciting evening cricket match, players will encounter humid conditions at the stadium.
