CSK vs PBKS Match 49 IPL 2025: Pitch Report at MA Chidambaram Stadium
The pitch at the MA Chidambaram Stadium is historically known as a spin-friendly track. The ball comes here with a lot of stoppage, so batsmen face problems. However, in this season of IPL, some batsmen have also proved that if one plays here with a bit of patience, then a big score can also be reached. Bowlers face difficulty here in the second innings due to dew. In such a situation, run chase becomes easy.
The toss will play an important role. In the last match played at Chepauk, Sunrisers Hyderabad won the toss and decided to bowl first and bundled out CSK’s innings for just 154 runs. In response, SRH easily achieved the target with 8 balls to spare, because due to dew, the bowlers were having a lot of trouble gripping. In this match too, dew will prove to be a big factor in the second innings. In such a situation, the role of the toss will become important.
