Chennai Pitch Report: Spinners likely to rule the roost?

Chepauk’s red-soil surface is known for its assistance to spinners and slow nature, and Wednesday’s contest will be played on one of the central pitches, offering almost symmetrical square boundaries (75m and 72m). The straight boundary is around 78m. The surface is expected to be two-paced — the kind that grips and holds — which could make stroke-making tricky, particularly in the second innings if the pitch slows down further. Teams might look to bat first if dew stays away.

Pace vs Spin at Chepauk (IPL overall):

Type	Matches	Runs	Wickets	Average	SR	Eco.
Pace	90	17,153	611	28.07	20.0	8.40
Spin	90	10,520	383	27.46	22.9	7.17
