Pitch Report

The pitch at the Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad, is a flat track with an even amount of bounce. It is known for favouring the batters and the pacers can get some movement off the wicket during the initial overs. However, the batters will have a good time in the middle. The boundaries are shorter, and the outfield is pretty fast as well. 

Team Analysis

Chennai Super Kings

Chennai Super Kings are coming on the back of a win over the reigning champions in Qualifier 1, and it surely adds to the advantage of the Yellow Brigade.

On the other hand, their bowling side will surely be a threat to the Titans, and names like Tushar Deshpande, Ravindra Jadeja, and Matheesha Pathirana will wish to claim as many wickets as they can.
