MA Chidambaram Stadium Pitch Report:
The pitch at this venue tends to provide favorable conditions for bowlers, especially spinners. Known for its spin-friendly nature, the surface is expected to offer substantial grip and considerable turn. This aspect may present a significant challenge for batters, affecting their ability to play shots with precision. However, in the recent one-off Test match, the pitch performed exceptionally well, resulting in a high-scoring contest. India Women, notably, amassed a massive first innings total of 603/6
