PITCH REPORT
Before the last match, the average first inning total at Abu Dhabi was 167. However, a low score by CSK in the first innings would have dragged that average further down. Spinners and Pace bowler will get some purchase from this surface. The First batting team will be in the game if they could put a score in excess of 155+ .
TOSS PREDICTION
Unlike the trend in the first half of the tournament, the teams batting second are enjoying their time of late. The same happened in the last match here too as dew made batting second a lot easier than it was in the first innings.
