IND vs BAN Outfield Report

MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chepauk

The MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai is known for its slow and low surface, traditionally favoring spinners as the match progresses. On the first couple of days, the pitch can offer decent assistance to fast bowlers due to the moisture, but as it dries out, spinners tend to dominate.

Chennai typically experiences hot and humid conditions, especially during cricket matches. In September, the temperature can range between 30°C to 35°C, with high humidity making it taxing for players. Rain interruptions are possible, particularly in the late afternoon.

Historically, MA Chidambaram Stadium has witnessed some high-scoring games, but totals often depend on how the pitch deteriorates. Teams batting first generally score around 350-450 runs if they negotiate the early overs well.
