Venue Insights: M.A. Chidambaram Stadium

The M.A. Chidambaram Stadium, also known as Chepauk, is renowned for its spin-friendly pitch. Traditionally, spinners have thrived here, especially as the match progresses. Batsmen will need to be cautious and build their innings carefully, as the pitch tends to slow down, making it challenging to score freely in the latter stages of the game. Additionally, the evening humidity is expected to bring dew, which could complicate bowling efforts in the second innings, making it crucial for teams to assess conditions wisely.
