Pitch and Conditions

Chennai’s Chepauk pitch always provides very good assistance to spin bowlers. As the match progresses, the surface tends to slow down, which helps bowlers in taking wickets. The dew factor also plays a major role, particularly during the latter stages of the game.

At the MA Chidambaram Stadium, spinners are expected to play an important role. A total of more than 160 will be a good score to defend on this surface.
