Match Details
Venue: MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai
Pitch and Weather: The first part of the IPL 2021 was held in this same venue and the games proved to be low-scoring ones.

The average score at this venue is likely to be around 150-160. The weather is expected to be humid in the evening with no chances of rain. Temperatures will hover 32-33C during game time.
