Pitch conditions:
As it is a relatively big stadium, spinners tend to play a part at the ground. The track also offers the spinners grip and turn. Ravindra Jadeja of Chennai Super Kings has certainly taken advantage of the conditions on offer with his left-arm spin. In IPL 2014, he took eight wickets in just four games at the venue. On most occasions, 150 can turn out to be a competitive score at the ground.
The JSCA International Stadium is generally considered a bowling pitch. The conditions tend to favor bowlers, especially in the second innings, with the pitch offering some assistance in terms of bounce and movement. While batsmen may find some opportunities early on, the surface can become tougher to bat on as the game progresses, making it more favorable for the bowlers.
