The MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai has traditionally been known for its slow, spin-friendly conditions. However, recent matches have shown that the surface can also offer good batting conditions once batters settle in. In T20 cricket, batters are likely to get decent value for their shots during the powerplay, while the surface can become slower as the innings progresses. Spinners are expected to play a major role in the middle overs.
