The IPL 2024 final features Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) at Chepauk Stadium in Chennai. KKR topped the points table with 20 points from nine wins, three losses, and two no results. They earned their final spot by defeating SRH in Qualifier 1. SRH, after a shaky start, beat Rajasthan Royals in Qualifier 2 to reach the final. The pitch at Chepauk favors batting initially but slows down, aiding spinners later in the game. This season, teams batting second have won 5 out of 8 matches at this venue. The average first innings score is 177, while the second innings average drops to 156.
In Qualifier 2 between SRH and RR at Chennai’s M.A. Chidambaram Stadium, the pitch had extra bounce and seam movement, benefiting fast bowlers. Spinners also found significant turn, making batting difficult. Heinrich Klaasen's aggressive batting against RR’s spinners was crucial. There was no dew, so the pitch slowed down in the second half, aiding SRH’s spinners. For the IPL final, expect a similar pitch that balances bat and ball. Without dew affecting play, the toss-winner is likely to bat first.
On May 26 in Chennai, the evening will be cloudy with 100% cloud cover, minimizing dew and encouraging captains to bat first if they win the toss. Temperatures will range from 34 to 32 degrees Celsius, and humidity will rise from 61% at 7 PM to 68% at 11 PM IST, according to Accuweather.com.
