The Chepauk pitch is known for its dry surface, favoring spinners who can exploit the turn and bounce it offers. Fast bowlers with a bag of variations can also find success here. Batting presents a challenge, particularly against bowlers who can effectively utilize cutters. However, batsmen who capitalize on the powerplay and score quickly can find success. As the match progresses, the pitch is expected to slow down, making batting easier and stroke play more fluid in the second half.
