How the pitch behaves
Surface

Usually known for favoring spinners, the MA Chidambaram Stadium has changed a lot in recent years.

The surface here has transformed from slow and turning to flat, providing batters the freedom to swing freely.

Chepauk has hosted four matches in IPL 2026, with two of those seeing 210-plus totals.

Due to the pitch's traditionally sticky nature, a 190-plus score is considered safe here.
