The pattern continues, Virat Kohli will be praying to win the toss so that he will be able to chase and level the series. The toss is a major part and the pitch might be easier to chase at night. During the IPL it will be interesting to see whether the pattern continues and most probably if matches are played here i will pick the team chasing

During last year's IPL (2020 edition), at least during the initial phases, there was a clear bias towards teams batting first (unlike the case in this series). Out of the 14 matches in the first two phases, 9 were won by the teams batting first and 2 were tied. Teams batting second managed to win only 3 times out of 14. It is really strange. Sometimes we see a bias towards teams batting first and sometimes it is the other way around.
