At the MA Chidambaram Stadium, captains have shown a consistent preference for chasing as their strategy. This inclination arises from the advantageous conditions for bowlers, which frequently enable teams to limit the batting side to a modest total.

The pitch at the MA Chidambaram Stadium offers significant assistance to spinners and bowlers who utilize variations in their deliveries. However, the fast outfield and short boundaries present ample scoring opportunities for batsmen to accumulate runs. Nevertheless, it’s imperative for batsmen to employ sensible cricketing tactics, assessing each ball on its merits and prioritizing strike rotation. When confronted with loose deliveries, capitalizing on them by sending the ball soaring into the stands is a straightforward strategy. Typically, a total ranging between 170 to 180 runs is deemed competitive and defendable on this ground.

Anticipate temperatures ranging between 35 and 28 degrees Celsius. Humidity levels are expected to hover around 67 percent, with a breeze blowing at a speed of 21 kmph.
