Glenn Maxwell is up for a chat. Shares that he has been hitting the ball well, he feels there's a big score around the corner. Adds that they played nicely in the last game but were unlucky, the wicket of Tewatia would have been a different game. Further says that there is good energy around. Tells that each match is exciting and hopes for a great contest here.

Faf du Plessis, the captain of Bangalore says even he wasn't sure of the wicket and he was considering batting first. Adds that the previous match had a good batting performance and he wants his team to play the same way. Informs they are going with the same XI.

MS Dhoni, the skipper of Chennai says that they will bowl first. Adds that the ball stops a bit initially here and the dew comes in pretty late, so it doesn't make much of a difference. Mentions that the wicket looks good and they want to play good cricket. Informs that Moeen Ali comes in for Mitchell Santner. Adds that they want to be more consistent with the batting and not give away a big over at crucial stages while bowling and hopes to improve upon the fielding as well.

Bangalore (Unchanged playing XI) - Virat Kohli, Faf du Plessis (C), Rajat Patidar, Glenn Maxwell, Dinesh Karthik (WK), Shahbaz Ahmed, Mahipal Lomror, Wanindu Hasaranga, Harshal Patel, Josh Hazlewood, Mohammed Siraj.

Chennai (Playing XI) - Ruturaj Gaikwad, Devon Conway, Robin Uthappa, Ambati Rayudu, Moeen Ali (In for Mitchell Santner), MS Dhoni (C/WK), Ravindra Jadeja, Simarjeet Singh, Dwaine Pretorius, Mukesh Choudhary, Maheesh Theekshana.

Toss - Chennai have won the toss and they have elected to BOWL first!

PITCH REPORT - Danny Morrison is pitchside. Danny says it's the third time they are playing on this pitch and it is dry, the grass has come off a bit more. Adds that the spinners will enjoy more and the pacers will have to vary their pace and bowl into the deck more. Suggests that the pacers should also look to bowl more yorkers.

Bangalore, on the other hand, are on a three-match losing streak and even though Virat Kohli scored a half-century last time it wasn't quite vintage Virat. Rajat Patidar, Glenn Maxwell and even Mahipal Lomror were good in the middle order but Kohli and du Plessis need to get their side off to a flying start so that those big-hitters can come into play more. They are in desperate need of a win tonight or else they will just keep falling behind in the playoffs race. So, both teams need a win big time and this will make for an even more entertaining watch. Which side will emerge victorious? We'll find out. Toss and team news in a bit.

In their last game, MS Dhoni took on the reigns back from Ravindra Jadeja and the former Chennai skipper rallied his troops to a much-needed win thanks to some explosive batting from Ruturaj Gaikwad and Devon Conway at the top. Chennai are still pretty further down in the table but a win here will all of a sudden get them level on points with a couple of sides above them. Also, on a personal milestone, MS Dhoni will be playing his 200th Indian T20 League game for Chennai.

Last night we saw Gujarat lose their second game of the season after five consecutive wins which also meant that Punjab got back in the mix for the playoffs race. Tonight, in match number 49 we will witness the reverse fixture between Chennai and Bangalore. The last time these two sides met, we saw an entertaining and high-scoring encounter that Chennai edged thanks to a big score on the board. Expect some more fireworks tonight and on that note, we welcome you to the coverage.
