M.A Chidambaram Stadium Pitch Report
Traditionally, a bowlers hood , M.A. Chidambaram Stadium, has been a favorite place for bowlers in the past. Although in the last few IPL matches at Chepauk, runs have been flowing at Chepauk , but batters can only benefit if they bat in the first innings, as moving to the second innings, batters have faced a fair bit of issues while chasing runs.
Looking at this season’s matches at this ground, it’s difficult to predict anything extra. However, since the last match was a high-scoring clash between LSG and CSK, no spinner could take a wicket in that game, which was a bit strange as the Chepauk pitch always offers something to spinners. Now, with SRH playing, we can expect the same high-scoring encounter this time as well.
Speaking abot the past statistics of this ground, in a total of 80 IPL matches played to date, the average first-innings score is 164, and the team that batted first has won the contest 47 times to date, which gives us a hint that winning the toss and batting first is not going to be a bad option as the pitch usually sees a bit of moisture in the surface and helps bowlers in the second innings.
