Pitch Report

The MA Chidambaram Stadium’s surface is known for its balanced nature, with a slight inclination towards the batters in the first half of the game. The bowlers (both pacers and spinners) might get some support here in the second half of the game. The average score here has been 152 runs while the average first-innings score is 158. So, the toss-winning skipper will aim to bat first and post a troubling total for the opponent to chase down.

C

Noor Ahmad CSK | BOWL

Star CSK spinner Noor Ahmad is enjoying an amazing bowling form in the tournament. He has scalped 14 wickets in nine innings, with a decent bowling strike rate of 13.28, including a four-wicket haul.

7

Shivam Dubey CSK | ALL

8.5

Avoid Having These Players In Your Fantasy Sports Team

7.5

Suryansh Shedge

PBKS | BAT

PBKS’ Suryansh Shedge has scored only 6 runs in two batting appearances in four matches he has played. It would be a wise move to avoid him from the fantasy team for this game.

7

Nathan Ellis

CSK | BOWL

CSK’s Nathan Ellis could scalp only 1 wicket for 38 runs in his four overs in the only game he has played for his side in the current season. He can be ignored while picking this game’s Dream11 Team.
