Pitch report
The legendary former English cricketer Kevin Pietersen said during Qualifier 2 that he had a discussion with the curator at the MA Chidambaram Stadium and got to know that the final would be played on a red-clay surface, similar to what fans are used to seeing in Mumbai. Therefore, a lot of runs can be expected on Sunday. Both teams have scored a plethora of runs throughout the season and have very strong batting line-ups. There was no dew in Qualifier 2 but teams will have to be wary.
