According to the Kolkata vs Chennai pitch report, spinners will play a massive role in deciding the fate of their teams.

The fixture on Tuesday saw Suryakumar Yadav taking enough time before he decided to shift gears.

The average score at this venue in the Dream11 IPL 2020 has been 168. The teams batting first have won four games while the sides chasing have also won three. As per the Kolkata vs Chennai pitch report, the side winning the toss should look to bat first and post a big total as the surface will slow down as the game progresses. Although MS Dhoni or Dinesh Karthik could also spring up a surprise by looking to bowl first since both the teams have won a match each chasing in Abu Dhabi so far.
