CSK vs GT Pitch Report MA Chidambaram Stadium

The Chidambaram stadium is known for assisting the spinners but much to our surprise, we saw pacers tasting more success in the first match here. CSK’s Mustafizur Rahman picked a 4-wicket haul removing RCB’s top order.

We can expect another game with balanced traits as seen in the first match. The par score will be around 170 and both pacers and spinners are going to get wickets.

Although pacers picked a lot of wickets, they also gave away many runs as compared to the spinners. The ball starts to grip in the latter stages of the match and some turn is expected in those hours.

Out of 77 IPL matches at this ground, 46 have been won by the team batting first.

The toss winner is likely to bat first on this ground.
