However, in the past few matches, it has been helping out the pacers well. Batting becomes challenging in the second innings due to the slowing nature of the pitch. Weather Report Expect a hot and humid day in Chennai, with temperatures ranging between 35°C and 40°C (95°F to 104°F) and humidity levels around 70–80% during the evening. No rain is forecasted, ensuring uninterrupted play. Conclusion Chennai Super Kings will head into the contest as favourites against Sunrisers Hyderabad. Khaleel Ahmed will be the player to watch out for in this contest, who is expected to make early inroads. For SRH, much will depend on how their top order shapes up, with Travis Head leading the batting attack from the front.
