MA Chidambaram Pitch report
The traditional Chepauk pitch usually assists spinners with turn and control, but pacers who rely on slower balls and variations can also be effective. Since it’s a afternoon game, batting conditions may remain consistent throughout, without the usual advantage for chasing teams that comes with dew in evening matches. The weather is absolutely clear ahead of the CSK vs DC afternoon clash at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai, with no chances of rain interruptions. The temperature is expected to stay around 30°C, which could make conditions slightly challenging due to the heat. Historically, CSK have dominated at this venue, winning 7 out of their 9 matches against DC. However, this encounter could be tightly contested, especially if Delhi’s top order gives them a strong start.
