Pitch Report:
The pitch at the Dubai International Stadium has seen some good competition between bat and bowl in the first encounter between MI and CSK. There will be some swing on offer especially early on into the innings. Batsmen would need to bide some time in the middle.
Strike rotation would again be key for both sides. A score of around 160 runs would be a fighting total at this venue. Both sides will be looking to field first upon winning the toss.
