On Friday, New Zealand will cross swords against Bangladesh in the eleventh group-stage game of the ICC World Cup 2023. The high-voltage face-off will take place at the iconic M.A Chidambaram stadium in Chennai. 

New Zealand have had a dream run so far, winning both their games in the tournament. After swatting aside England in the World Cup opener, the BlackCaps crushed the Netherlands in Hyderabad to consolidate their position in the points table. 

Meanwhile, Bangladesh have had a roller-coaster ride in the 2023 World Cup. After beating Afghanistan in their first game, the Tigers were thrashed by a strong English side and would like to bounce back in this game. 

So, as the M.A Chidambaram stadium in Chennai gets ready to host the fixture, let's see how its pitch will likely behave during the contest. 


MA Chidambaram Stadium Chennai Pitch Report

The surface at the M.A Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai is expected to be on the drier side as it was during the first game between India and Australia. The cracks will be visible, with the pitch offering significant turn for the spinners throughout the game. Meanwhile, the hit-the-deck pacers might get subtle seam movement, thanks to the cracks. 

Considering the overall track records, the teams might prefer to bat first at the venue. However, as the ball will come on to the bat slightly better under lights, don't be surprised if the toss-winning side opts to bowl unless it's a used pitch.
