CSK, on the other hand have nothing to lose, with them having already shown the exit route be the remaining teams in the competition. As hinted by their skipper MS Dhoni, the side is likely to test their squad strength by handing out debut caps to a couple of other players as well.

Brabourne Stadium pitch report RR vs CSK

With an average first innings total of 179 this season, coupled with a lightning quick outfield, expect the Brabourne Stadium pitch to be another batting paradise during its final match of the season today.

Overall, in IPL 2022, this venue has offered the best conditions for players with each skillset.

While the spinners have picked up 69 wickets at this venue in this season at an average of 21.81, the decent cover of grass has offered the pacers opportunities to trouble the batters upfront with the pace and carry.

While the spinners are likely to dominate the match proceedings, the batters would enjoy the best of their times once they get their eyes in.

Score in the vicinity of the 170-run mark might just be par on the surface today.
