Chennai defeated their arch-rivals Mumbai Indians in their last game where Mumbai was put to bat first. Their batting did not click, and so they could only score 155. Chennai, in return, started aggressively with Gaikwad, but once he fell, they started to falter a little. Rachin, however, did not panic and took the team home, winning the game by 4 wickets.

Bengaluru, in the IPL opener of 2025, played the Kolkata Knight Riders, where Kolkata was batting first. Ajinkya Rahane led the team from the front with his attacking game, but after his departure, the team struggled and could only score 174. When chasing, Bengaluru made a mockery of the total as they chased the total down with 22 balls to spare. They won the game by seven wickets, with Salt and Kohli scoring fifties each.

It is anticipated that the wicket in Chepauk will be slower and will help the spinners, as usual. The IPL 2025 season is predicted to showcase the same surface, and both sides may decide to load up on spinners for the match. As they did against the Mumbai Indians, CSK will be prepared to unleash the trio of Noor Ahmad, R Ashwin, and Ravindra Jadeja. In the 86 games played at Chepauk, the first teams to bat won 49.

We all know what to expect in Chennai during the summer. It will be hot, with the temperature ranging between 34 degrees celsius and 27 degrees celsius. On Friday, there is a 6% chance of precipitation with mostly clear skies and southern wind between 10 and 15 miles per hour. It is going to be pretty humid, with an expected humidity of 65%, making it difficult for the players as well as the audience.
