MA Chidambaram Stadium Pitch Report:
The pitch of MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai is very helpful for spin bowlers. On this pitch, spin bowlers prove to be very effective with the old ball. It is not easy for the batsmen to score runs here. First they have to settle down, only then they can hit big shots. With the new ball, fast bowlers also get some help here. The average score of the first innings on this ground is 164 and the average score of the second innings is 150, so batting first here and setting the target on the board would be the right decision.
