CSK vs RCB: Chepauk, Pitch Report

The Surface at Chepauk is dry and offers a balanced battle between bat and ball, and it assists bowlers with the new ball, while the dry surface offers grip and turn for the spinners. The dew factor gives an advantage to the batters while chasing. The average first-innings total on this surface is 175, and the last time Mumbai Indians scored 152, it was considered an under-par total for this pitch. The team that bats first should aim to score over 180 runs to counter the batters while chasing under the dew. In night matches at Chepauk, the team that wins the toss will likely bowl first.
