What to expect:
Another match of attrition at a venue that's largely been difficult for the batters. Uneven ground dimensions are likely to be in play and the weather is set to be hot and humid

Tactics & matchups:
Matheesha Pathirana has a favourable match-up against Henrich Klaasen in T20s, having dismissed him thrice in 22 balls and conceding only 26 runs.

"There won't be a wasted game or an opportunity in the next few weeks and the players know that as well, and that creates opportunity and creates a bit of competition with them but we won't let any time go to waste" CSK head coach Stephen Fleming

Shami to Shaik Rasheed, out Caught by Abhishek Sharma!! Gone first ball. Classic Mohammed Shami. The SRH fans would be screaming their lungs out asking "Where was this Shami all season"? Lovely seam presentation. Shades of S Sreesanth in that. Seam-up delivery that curls in and swings away in the outside off corridor, Shaik Rasheed falls into the trap with a poke and the healthy outside edge carries to the left of lone slip. Even the great Sunny Gavaskar was amazed by the seam presentation on that delivery.

Cummins to Ayush Mhatre, FOUR, no respect for Pat Cummins. 140ks fuller and wider, Ayush Mhatre is all hands as he clobbers this in the gap between backward point and cover

Harshal Patel to Sam Curran, out Caught by Aniket Verma!! All three balls so far, Harshal Patel has gone wide of the crease. He opts for the slower short ball outside off, challenging Sam Curran to go big on the leg-side. Curran plays the pull, but loses shape and timing while at it. Skews off the thick inside half and picks out Aniket at deep mid-wicket.

Cummins to Ayush Mhatre, out Caught by Ishan Kishan!! Is it the pace? The length? Ayush Mhatre looked really good against short balls, but when it's full he couldn't get his timing right on most occasions. 143ks full in the corridor outside off, Ayush Mhatre tries to drill it straight and ends up chipping it off the toe end to the right of mid-off. Ishan Kishan with a tumbling effort there.

Zeeshan Ansari to Brevis, FOUR, hitting in the V is Dewald Brevis' bread and butter. Drag down outside off, Brevis leant on the back foot and smacked it back over the bowler's head with plenty of bottom hand power

Zeeshan Ansari to Jadeja, 1 run, Harshal Patel drops a dolly. Chepauk go bonkers on expected lines. A miscued loft from Jadeja and Harshal had all the time in the world to settle under that at long-off. He took it a bit too casually perhaps? Got both hands below his chest, but failed to hang on..

Kamindu Mendis to Brevis, SIX, that's Brevis at his best. The no-look or the head-down no-look loft, makes room outside the leg-stump, it's tossed up full on leg-stump, he belts the loft way back over long-on, was too full and in the slot

11.6
Kamindu Mendis to Brevis, SIX, third six of the over.

11.4
Kamindu Mendis to Brevis, SIX, slower but short on middle, Brevis goes on the back foot and pulls well, had so much time to handle that, flies over deep mid-wicket

Harshal Patel to Brevis, out Caught by Kamindu Mendis!! Needed something special to stop this man and Kamindu has pulled off one of the catches of the season at long-off. This is a half-volley outside off, Brevis absolutely belts the loft flat and it is curving away all the time, Kamindu though is ambidextrous as you saw when he was bowling, he goes with both hands - more like a football goalie trying to get it wide of the post. Here he shows great hands and on the full-stretch dive he manages to hang on. And when he landed ensures he has the technique not to let the elbows hit the ground hard which would have allowed the ball to go down. Gets up and just celebrates with a wide smile. Cummins is thrilled as are his SRH mates, the SRH skipper the first to lift and hug Kamindu. Meanwhile Brevis is stunned and gets a pat on the back from the CSK colleagues on the way back.

Harshal Patel to Dhoni, out Caught by Abhishek Sharma!! No finishing from the finisher tonight. Harshal Patel finishes off Dhoni. He has a good record against Dhoni and it only improves after this dismissal. Width outside off, short of length and Dhoni cuts straight to the fielder at backward point. Abhishek makes no mistake. Dhoni was trying to place it instead of hitting it harder. Couldn't keep it down too
