Today's CSK vs SRH pitch report

“The surface looks quite dry, very similar to what we have seen previously. It is going to be slightly on the slower side and a bit two-paced as well. The pace bowlers might have to use change of pace. I think there will be a little bit of spin as well. This pitch might just be a bit tricky." Simon Doull and Michael Clarke
