KKR vs SRH IPL 2024 Final Pitch Report

Chepauk’s surface this season has been quite mysterious. While dew was a factor in the 2nd half of the tournament, we didn’t see much dew in the qualifier 2. The spinners came with plenty of turns in the second innings and SRH’s spinners won the match. However, spinners could not grab a single wicket in the 1st innings. The Final might be played on a similar surface to the qualifier 2.
