Two top Celebrity Cricket League teams are all set to showcase their skills as Kiccha Sudeep-led Karnataka Bulldozers take on Chennai Rhinos.

Fans can expect big runs on this surface primarily due to its historical track record. The pitch is mostly flat in nature with no grass.

Both teams will look to capitalise on this. It is advisable that whoever wins the toss will look to bat first and post a good total.
