"This feels like a wicket of two halves. The half where we are standing have some speckling of grass, but the far end has a nice even covering of grass. It is not going to be a 200 sort of wicket, it is going to be a real dogfight. There is going to be some dew today, and it will come early," Ian Bishop and Matthew Hayden said ahead of the CSK vs LSG match - last match in Chennai.

"By 8pm, you can see a considerable amount of moisture on the outfield. But the wicket itself, you got to be in the hunt, you got to be in the fight throughout the game. The KKR game, they got about 137 which was chased down easily. This is going to be a surface like that.

"It is not going to be easy in the middle phase where you will see a lot of spin here, and that’s where you need to be comfortable batting on this surface. The trick for pacers will be to take pace off, bowl a lot of off cutters and big looping slower ones. This is a critical game, can’t wait for it to get started," they added.

In the match, CSK scored 210/4 after being asked to bat first. Pacers picked three wickets, while Shivam Dube got run out. LSG chased down the target with three balls and six wickets to spare. All the four wickets were picked by the pacers.

The average innings total in the last five T20s at the venue is 182. Team winning the toss has opted to bowl first 61 percent of the time.
