Pitch Report
The pitch at Chepauk looks great to bat. However, there are some cracks that may lead to uneven bounce and spinners might get some assistance from that. The square boundaries are 65 m and 66 metres respectively with the straight boundary at 80 metres. The dew is another factor. Win the toss, bowl first seems right.
