NZ vs UAE: Ground Pitch Report

MA Chidambaram Stadium is one of the slowest wickets in India. Spinners thrive here because of the slow wicket. There will be some swing with the new ball, but as the ball gets old, we might see fast turn. Chasing can be a good option, because this is an afternoon game and batting second can be better.
