Ahead of the upcoming fixture, let us take a look at the pitch and weather report for the RR vs CSK match.
Pitch report:
The second half of IPL 2021 has seen the bowlers especially the spinners receive some kind of assistance from the pitch. The Sheikh Zayed Cricket Stadium has been producing low-scoring games. The batters have found it difficult to score runs as they can be seen struggling to adapt to the pitch. While the bowlers will just have to aim at bowling perfect line and length, the batters should take some time to settle on the pitch before smashing big hits. The skipper winning the toss on Saturday will be keen on batting first as the teams chasing the total have a greater chance of winning on this deck. Also, the dew factor can make the life of the bowlers miserable in the second innings.
Weather
The weather is unlikely to cause any kind of disturbance during the high-octane encounter between Rajasthan Royals and Chennai Super Kings. The chances of rain interrupting the game are also negligible. Since it is an evening match, the temperature is likely to hover around 30 degree celsius.
