New Delhi. Kolkata Knight Riders, captained by Shreyas Iyer, and Sunrisers Hyderabad, led by Pat Cummins, are facing each other in the final of IPL. Both the teams are gearing up for this great match to be played on Sunday (26th May) at MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. KKR team entered the title match by winning the first qualifier, while Hyderabad won the final ticket by defeating Rajasthan in the second qualifier. The role of the pitch is going to be important in this match. Let us know whether the pitch is going to help the batsmen or the bowlers.

The pitch of MA Chidambaram Stadium traditionally favors bowlers, especially spinners. It is going to be difficult for the batsmen on this spin friendly wicket. If the batsman wants to play a big innings here, he/she will have to set up first. This means that maximum time will have to be spent at the crease. Once set, the batsman can play extended innings. The bowlers have always dominated this pitch. Here, after winning the toss, the captain would like to decide to bat first. This season, 8 matches have been played here where the chasing team has been victorious in 5 matches. The role of the pitch will also be important in the KKR vs Sunrisers Hyderabad (KKR vs SRH) final.
