Rain is unlikely to play spoilsport, which means a good news for the audience, who can expect a full play at the venue between the two teams.

But, the spinners will rule in Chennai for the nature of the wicket. 

The pitch will be slow and sluggish. the spinners will enjoy bowling in Chennai. the pacers must rely on cutters and slower ones, which stick in the pitch. The batters will have to rotate strike and make the best use of the hard ball. The soft ball will not be easy to hit. Teams that minimise the dot balls will likely be the winner.
