NZ vs BAN, World Cup 2023: Chennai Stadium Pitch Report Today Match, Highest Total, Avg Score and More
The MA Chidambaram Stadium is renowned for its spin-friendly pitch, as demonstrated in the recent World Cup match between India and Australia, where Indian spinners claimed six Australian wickets.
While batsmen who find their groove can score runs, they must be wary of spin deliveries. The somewhat slow nature of the MA Chidambaram Stadium pitch makes hitting powerful shots a challenge.
Teams heavily rely on their spin bowlers in their bowling lineup to exploit these conditions. Batsmen adopt a cautious approach, emphasizing partnerships to build substantial scores. Therefore, a total of 250-260 is considered competitive at this venue.
