Pitch report
The surface at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai has produced contrasting pitches this season. In some games, teams have been greeted with the traditionally slow and low Chepauk surfaces. However, there have also been some high-scoring encounters. One match that stands out is the one between Chennai Super Kings and Lucknow Super Giants on April 23. The hosts scored 210/4 in their 20 overs before Lucknow bettered it with six wickets and three balls to spare. Sunrisers will be the happier team if the pitch turns out to be the flatter side on Friday.
