Chennai played against Punjab in their previous game, where Punjab did not start well with the bat. They kept losing wickets, but Priyansh Arya kept smacking. Due to his century, they posted a huge total of 219 runs. Chennai looked solid and were decent with the bat, but a couple of tight overs and they were lagging behind in the run rate, eventually losing the game by 18 runs.

Kolkata had met Lucknow in their last encounter, where Lucknow came out all guns blazing with the bat. With everyone in the top order firing, they had already posted a mammoth total of 238 runs on the board. Kolkata, in return, started well too and looked calm in the chase. However, they had a mini-collapse, due to which they could not evade the loss by just four runs.

Although the Chepauk's pitch is known to provide spinners some assistance, it has recently performed admirably in white-ball cricket. Expect comparable batting circumstances on a pitch that is suitable for stroke-makers in the high-octane match between CSK and KKR. The hitters had a great season last year, with an average first-inning score of nearly 170. Contrary to usual, CSK has been losing home games this season, which they will need to look into.
