PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS

Weather Conditions

The skies over Chennai will be clear, and we expect a good game. The wicket will play well at the start, but it will be on the slower side, where the ball isn't going to hit the bat hard. A score of 170 runs or above will be good for the side to defend with a good bowling performance.

IND-W vs RSAW Pitch Report

MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai, is one of India's best venues for T20 cricket, balancing it out between the batsmen and the bowlers. Batters must play to the merit of the ball to do well at this venue. The track is slower here, making it a good venue for the spinners, though fast bowlers have struggled here.

Toss: To Bat

The wicket at Chennai is known for being a difficult surface to chase a score as the wicket slow down as the game progresses. The side that wins the toss would aim to put up a good score on the board and defend it successfully.
