Today, Chennai Super Kings will take on Delhi Capitals in the 55th group-stage fixture of the ongoing Indian Premier League season. While MS Dhoni-led CSK occupy the second position in the points table with six wins, the Capitals languish at the bottom with only four victories in ten appearances. As the iconic MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai gears up to host the fascinating clash, let's see what the pitch report says. 


MA Chidambaram Stadium Pitch report

The surface at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai has traditionally been spin-friendly. But after renovation, the venue has witnessed some high-scoring games in the IPL 2023, where bowlers from either participating teams struggled to put an impact. 

Batters from both sides have enjoyed their time in the middle in all five games played in Chennai this season. So, the wicket is expected to be favourable for stroke play throughout the day. However, it won't be a belter like we have seen in Mumbai or Bangalore, as there will be some turn available for the spinners. 

The seamers will get nothing substantial off the surface. The chasing teams have won three of the five matches played here this season and as it's an evening game, dew might play a little role latter in the evening. So, considering these factors, the toss-winner will likely opt to field first.
