MA Chidambaram Stadium Chennai Pitch Report for CSK vs GT
The pitch at Chennai generally remains dry and hard which is considered spin friendly. In the first innings, batsmen may find it easy to score but as the match progresses the surface becomes slower and batters may have to put extra effort into playing shots. So, batting first at the Chennai pitch can be considered a wise decision during CSK vs GT Qualifier 2 match.
Special Tips for CSK vs GT match
Moeen Ali may play a key role for CSK on Tuesday. The England all-rounder is completing his quota of 4 overs and is also expected to bat in the middle order. You may avoid picking Ambati Rayudu and Rahul Tewatia in fantasy team as they have scored only 122 and 80 runs respectively in IPL 2023.
