Chepauk Super Gillies vs Trichy Grand Cholas Toss Prediction
Trichy Grand Cholas are tipped to win the toss and bat first at Chepauk, a call that suited them well against Dindigul. Dew is expected to build under lights, so setting a total avoids chase-time grip issues for the bowlers, making the toss call a meaningful early swing point for both sides.
MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chepauk Pitch Report
MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chepauk, Chennai
Chepauk’s surface has typically eased up for stroke-play in the first half before offering more turn later on. This pitch report points to a par score around 175-185, with the shorter square boundaries rewarding clean hitters, while disciplined seam and spin bowling through the middle overs should keep totals in check.
Weather Report
Chennai stays warm and humid through late August evenings, with temperatures gradually easing after sunset. As this is a night match starting later than most, dew is expected to be a bigger factor by the back half, generally aiding the side chasing as the ball grips less for bowlers.

Chepauk Super Gillies vs Trichy Grand Cholas Team Preview & Squads
Chepauk Super Gillies
Narayan Jagadeesan’s captaincy has generally kept Chepauk composed even after last match’s loss to Kovai, and his own batting form at the top remains the clearest lever for how this side performs today.
Ram Arvindh anchors a batting structure that has looked settled through the W W W stretch, and this CSG vs TRI prediction leans on whether that middle order can keep finding 180-plus totals on a ground that has generally favoured the bat.
With the ball, M Silambarasan gives control up front, while J Prem Kumar’s all-round balance adds depth in the field and lower order, giving Chepauk options if Trichy’s batters get set early.

Trichy Grand Cholas
Suresh Kumar’s leadership has coincided with a strong recent run for Trichy, and his own batting alongside the captaincy load remains central after the 28-run win over Dindigul in the previous match.
Suresh Kumar’s presence at the top gives the batting order a settled look, and this preview notes that K Rajkumar’s fifty last time out adds another dependable option if Trichy’s playing XI needs a platform-setter early in the innings.
K Easwaran leads the bowling attack with control, while Antony Dhas’s all-round skills add balance, giving Trichy the tools to both restrict Chepauk’s hitters and contribute lower-order runs if needed.
