Pitch Report of MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai
The Chepauk pitch usually helps spin bowlers and can be difficult for batters to score runs on.
| Aspect | Details |
|---|---|
| Pitch Behaviour | The surface tends to be dry and slightly slow. As the game moves forward, cracks appear, and spin bowlers gain more assistance. |
| Batting Assistance | Batters can attack freely during the initial overs. Later, as the pitch loses pace, stroke-making and handling spin become challenging. |
| Bowling Assistance | Spin bowlers receive support for most of the match, with extra turn in the middle and death overs. Fast bowlers may find slight movement with the new ball early on. |
| Boundaries Dimensions | The square boundaries measure about 65 metres, while the straight boundaries extend to roughly 68 metres. |
| Average 1st Innings Score | In T20Is, the typical second-innings total is close to 152 runs, a score that can often be successfully defended. |
| Toss Impact & Dew | Captains usually choose to field first to benefit from evening dew, which can limit the effectiveness of spin. |
Weather Report
| Aspect | Details |
|---|---|
| Temperature | The temperature will be around 28°C. |
| Weather | Partly sunny with dry surface increases spin support later |
| Precipitation | The chance of rain is around 10%. |
| Humidity | 66%, moderate moisture may aid early swing bowling |
| Wind | Wind speed will be 18 km/h, may assist seam movement |
