Shepauk Stadium Pitch Report

Talking about the pitch of Chennai's MA Chidambaram Stadium (Chepauk), spin bowlers have always got help here. The ball stops a lot here, so batsmen face problems. However, in this season of IPL, some batsmen have also proved that if one plays patiently here, then big scores can also be reached. Bowlers face difficulty here due to dew in the second innings. In such a situation, run chase becomes easy.

Toss will play an important role

In the last match played at Chepauk, Sunrisers Hyderabad won the toss and decided to bowl first and restricted CSK's innings to just 154 runs. In response, SRH easily achieved the target with 8 balls to spare, as the bowlers were having a lot of trouble gripping due to dew. In this match too, dew will prove to be a big factor in the second innings. In such a situation, the role of toss will become important.
