Last season, the turn was more at this venue compared to this season. There will be a bit of pace and carry, it'll be a high scoring game. Dew will be a big factor and the toss will matter, but the ball might seam around in the second innings," Matthew Hayden and Danny Morrison said ahead of the CSK vs PBKS - the last match at the Chepauk.
