NZ vs AGF, World Cup 2023: MA Chidambaram Stadium Pitch Report Today Match

The MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai has earned a reputation for being a spinner-friendly venue, particularly evident in its numerous IPL matches. Spin bowlers have consistently excelled on this pitch. This stadium also played host to a recent World Cup clash between India and Australia, which the home team emerged victorious.

However, batting on this pitch is no walk in the park, as demonstrated in that game. Australia struggled, getting bowled out for a mere 199 runs, largely due to the prowess of Indian spinners who collectively claimed 6 wickets. Notably, even fast bowlers found some assistance, as Josh Hazlewood and Mitchell Starc quickly reduced India to 2/3 during their chase.

Interestingly, chasing a target is generally easier at this venue compared to setting a target while batting first. The reason behind this advantage is the way the ball tends to turn under the sun, and later, the dew factor comes into play, making it more favorable for chasing teams.
