Rajasthan Royals and Chennai Super Kings, the two teams with contrasting forms, will face each other in the 47th match of the IPL. Rajasthan is in a must-win situation, and even if they win their next three games, they will only have 14 points, requiring some other results to go their way. Rajasthan will have to play their best cricket to beat Chennai.
On the other hand, Chennai may experiment with a few new players after qualifying for the playoffs. However, their coach, Stephen Fleming, has stated that there will not be many changes made but that they would try to limit the workloads of a few players.
Weather
The evening in Abu Dhabi should be warm and gloomy, with an average of around 34°C. Dew could fall throughout the second innings, making things more difficult for the bowlers.
Pitch
The batsmen had a good time on the previous wicket in Abu Dhabi, and a similar surface may be predicted for this encounter. On this wicket, anything over 160 is a solid score. Whoever wins the toss should bowl first, as is usual.
