VENUE COMMENTARY

The MA Chidambaram Stadium is a balanced pitch, supporting both batsmen and bowlers. Chasing teams tend to perform better, so picking bowlers who excel in defending totals might not yield high points. England’s power hitters like Buttler and Livingstone could play crucial roles, while India’s spinning duo of Axar Patel and Varun Chakravarthy will be key in the middle overs.
