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. The sky may remain cloudy due to the cyclone. In such a situation, the possibility of rain cannot be ruled out. If it rains during the match, an additional 120 hours are given. Apart from this, the match will be played on the next day, i.e., Reserve Day. However, if it rains on two days, Kolkata Knight Riders will lift the trophy on the basis of points table.

Strength:
The strong link of Hyderabad has been their attacking batting. Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma have given a stormy start to Hyderabad on many occasions this season. Apart from these two, Nitish Reddy, Heinrich Klaasen and Abdul Samad have also been very important for the team in the middle order. After the opening flop in Qualifier 2, Klaasen got Hyderabad out of trouble by playing a half-century. Hyderabad’s batting has been successful in leaving a lot of impact this time.
Weakness:
Hyderabad’s weakness is also their batting. If the openers get out early then pressure builds on the team. The opposing team takes advantage of this pressure. In the first clarifier, KKR took advantage of this and restricted the team to 159 runs. Even after batting stormily, the team becomes weak in chasing the target. This season, Hyderabad has lost 3 out of 6 matches while chasing the target. In such a situation, the weakness of the Hyderabad team is visible here.
