The pitch of MA Chidambaram Stadium traditionally favors bowlers, especially spinners. It is going to be difficult for the batsmen on this spin-friendly wicket. If the batsman wants to play a big innings here, he will have to set up first. This means that the maximum amount of time will have to be spent at the crease. Once set, the batsman can play extended innings. The bowlers have always dominated this pitch.
According to the weather forecast, a remnant cyclone is becoming a storm in the Bay of Bengal. At present, it is 1500 km east of Chennai. Due to this, the temperature may change in Chennai.

Strength:
This season, KKR has appeared to be a different team, their batsmen and bowlers have performed equally. KKR players have performed tremendously in every department. This season, KKR has been successful in scoring 200 plus 6 times. 5 bowlers have created a sensation by taking more than 12 wickets. That is, the strongest thing about the KKR team is that the team has shown all-round performance. That means, if KKR continues with this momentum in the finals, then it may be difficult for the opposing team to save the match.
Weakness:
After the opener is out, pressure builds on the KKR batsman. This has been the biggest weekend for KKR this season. Apart from Venkatesh Iyer, middle-order batsmen have failed to score big. Although runs were definitely scored from the bat of captain Shreyas Iyer in the first qualifier, KKR has high hopes from him. At the same time, due to the absence of Phil Salt, KKR’s opening has become weak. The opposing team will take advantage of this and try to put KKR under pressure in the final.KKR team management will have to sit with their openers and middle-order batsmen and make the right strategy.
