Chennai Super Kings Preview

The Super Kings come here with a huge 77-run win against the Delhi Capitals. The full-back has not been consistent on the ball and has relied on his batsmen to accompany them in games. They play at home, and MS Dhoni would look to make the most of home field advantage and crowd support. It will be a great test for his bowlers in this game, and Dhoni would like to see his bowlers deliver a knockout.

Devon Conway and Ruturaj Gaikwad have had a brilliant season, with close to 1100 races between the pair. The onus would fall on them to offer a good start. Shivam Dube and Ajinkya Rahane should hit well in the middle order. Ravindra Jadeja is enjoying a good tournament with the bat, adding to the firepower in the order with Moeen Ali and Dhoni.

Deepak Chahar has looked good and should get early breakthroughs together with Tushar Deshpande to put GT on the table. Jadeja and Moeen Ali have vast experience, but they have not been consistent. The side will need a strong show from the pair in the middle overs. Matheesha Pathirana and Maheesh Theekshana need to keep the pressure on the Titans and not let them get away with the game.

weather conditions

Skies over Chennai should be mostly clear on May 23, but we have seen tricky batting conditions. Bowlers have found a lot of help on this surface in recent games, and batsmen need to play the ball on its merits to do it well. The side that bats first here would be happy with a score of 180 runs.

Venue Details

The MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai balances it between batsmen and bowlers. The ball stops with the hitters and the spinners have enjoyed a good record. Fast bowlers reap good rewards with the new ball, but we’ve also seen batsmen achieve good scores once they set their sights on it.

Launch: bowling

Only once in the last five games has a team successfully defended the score in Chennai. The wicket slows down in the second half, making things difficult for the batsmen. It will be a high-pressure contest, and both captains would like to play it safe by opting to pitch first at this lane.
