MA Chidambaram Stadium Pitch Report:
Given the historic matches played at this venue, the pitch is believed to offer advantages to the bowlers, particularly the spinners. The surface is known for its spin-friendly nature and offers good grip and pronounced turns. This attribute can pose a significant hindrance to batters and affect their ability to play shots accurately. The spin and grip are likely to limit run-scoring opportunities, potentially leading to the game being dominated by bowlers.

Skies are forecast to be clear throughout the day, with only a 4% chance of precipitation and the risk of disruption minimal. Although temperatures could rise as high as 32 degrees Celsius, potentially testing players’ endurance, wind speeds of around 18 km/h are likely to provide some relief. Humidity is expected to be around 77%, which may impact both batters and bowlers.
