Pitch Report – MA Chidambaram Stadium
Chepauk has long been known for assisting spinners, and while its slow surface remains a challenge, recent matches have shown that batters can still put up runs once set. However, it’s far from a flat pitch — adjusting to spin will be crucial.
Last match at venue: CSK managed only 103/9 against KKR, highlighting the pitch's difficulty.
Expectations: Spinners are likely to dominate, though aggressive batters may still find success.

Chennai may enjoy home advantage, but their recent struggles to post competitive totals — especially on their own pitch — could prove costly.
