Weather in Chennai could be more demanding than any other venue in the IPL Cricket T20 tournament. High humidity levels drain the players of energy and will keep them sticky and uncomfortable on the field. Moderate winds at 15-20 kmph may however provide some relief. Chances of rain in Chennai during the match are bleak.
