With both teams coming into this match with a win, a tough battle is expected at Chepauk. Before the match, let’s take a look at the pitch report and whether batters or bowlers will dominate.
Chepauk Stadium Pitch Report
The MA Chidambaram Stadium (Chepauk) is known for its spin-friendly pitch. Spinners get significant assistance here as the ball tends to grip and turn, making it challenging for batters. However, if a batter plays carefully in the initial overs, it becomes easier to score runs later in the game.
