PITCH REPORT :

At Chidambaram Stadium we witnessed the old 2011 pitch where at that time it was a high scoring pitch but afterwards this Chennai pitch was low scoring pitch and also very much spin friendly, in the first match spinners were effective yet again but this time batter's also enjoyed the surface.
