Pitch Report — Chepauk
Chepauk's slow, turning surface is the great equaliser. The pitch offers turn from ball one, making spinners the dominant force. Pace bowlers who hit the right lengths can also extract seam movement early on.
Bat first at Chepauk. Dew is moderate and the pitch deteriorates, making chasing harder as the game progresses.
Head-to-Head Record
