Weather Report:
The weather in Guwahati for this match is expected to be partly cloudy, with temperatures ranging from 29°C to 22°C between 6 PM and midnight. Since it’s a night game, dew is likely to play a role.
Pitch Report:
The pitch in Guwahati has been on the slower side, offering plenty of assistance to spinners, as we saw in KKR’s last game. This could work in favor of CSK’s spin duo, Noor Ahmed and Ravichandran Ashwin, who might find the conditions to their liking. However, with dew expected to settle in later, batting second could be the smarter choice to avoid difficulties while bowling in the second innings.
Prediction:
Both teams are struggling, but RR seems to be in a worse position than CSK right now. However, CSK isn’t far behind. Their biggest issues are poor fielding and a weak middle order that struggles to accelerate, even after a strong powerplay, as seen against MI. On the other hand, RR has the home advantage and more experience playing on this pitch. Given these factors, RR seems to have a slight edge in this match. A win here would finally get them some much-needed points on the table.
