CHK vs CST Pitch Report

Sector 16 Stadium, Chandigarh, is a small ground, and batsmen have done well at this venue. There is assistance for the fast bowlers in the morning with the new ball. Spinners get a lot out of this surface and can turn the ball.

Toss: To Bat

In the six completed games, the side batting first has won four times. The wicket has gone slower as the game has progressed, making run chases difficult on this surface. Both teams will take a cue from this and opt to bat first.
