MA Chidambaram Stadium Pitch Report
MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chepauk, Chennai
Chepauk has historically been a spin-friendly track, but early matches in the 2026 T20 World Cup show a more sporting surface, assisting strokeplay and allowing batters to play freely. Spinners will still play a pivotal role in the middle overs, but teams winning the toss might prefer chasing given the predictability of runs in the second innings. Pitch report expect scores in the 170–190 range to be competitive.
Weather Report
The weather report in Chennai on match day is expected to be warm and dry, with coastal humidity increasing slightly in the evening. Dew is unlikely to be severe but may slightly favor teams batting second in the final overs. This makes the toss crucial and may influence bowling strategies during the death overs.
