Pitch Report & Venue Stats

Contrary to its traditional slow nature, the surface at MA Chidambaram Stadium has been a batting paradise recently. The Avg Runs in the last 5 matches is a staggering 185. Surprisingly, Pacer Wickets (28) have outnumbered Spinner Wickets (19), suggesting that seamers are getting help upfront and at the death.

Fantasy Takeaway: Load your fantasy contests with top order batters and death over pacers. Spinners are still valuable but haven't been the primary wicket takers recently.
