IPL 2023, CSK vs SRH Live score and updates: How will the pitch play?
Pommie Mbangwa (on-air):
There was a bit of drizzle earlier, but we should have a full match. One square boundary is short at 62m, the other is at 70m. The straight boundary is at 75m and some large pockets as well. This is pitch number 6 and there were a lot of runs in the last game that was played on this (match 6 of the IPL with scores of 217 and 205). There are a few cracks, but it is rock hard. As a pacer, you need to have variations to succeed on this pitch, same goes for the spinners. But in one sentence, the batters should have a field day today.

IPL 2023, CSK vs SRH Live score and updates: CAPTAINS CORNER!!!
Aiden Markram:
We'd have also bowled first. We had a good game against KKR batting first, so hopefully we can take a leaf out of that. I think we need to get the whole game good together, one skill is good and the other not as much, so we are working on it. If one of them is having a good night, they have to make it big.
MS Dhoni:
We'll bowl first. This pitch is 50-50 because it is slightly cloudy. There might be dew so always better to chase. All packed together on the points table, we need to do well and not look at the table at this moment. Combination wise, we have been fortunate because we haven't had all players available. The headaches start later when everyone becomes available.
