MA Chidambaram Stadium Pitch Report: Is The Surface Batting Or Bowling Friendly?

The pitch at MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai won't likely offer significant seam movement to the fast bowlers. However, the swing bowlers could get the new ball move a little bit in the air. 

As it's an afternoon game, the pitch could be slightly on the drier side, with the sun beating down. Also, considering the spinners have bagged more than 50 per cent of the total wickets in two matches at this venue, expect the likes of Kuldeep Yadav and Noor Ahmad to play a significant role in this match. 

However, it doesn't mean the track will be unplayable for the batters. As evidenced by the average scoring rate of 8.27, the batters can score runs here after getting set in the middle. Overall, it's expected to be a sporting deck with decent help for the spinners. 

The track might quicken up a bit later in the evening. So, despite the hot and humid conditions, the toss-winner could opt to bowl first.
