Lyca Kovai Kings vs Chepauk Super Gillies Pitch Report
The pitch at NPR College Ground has predominately favored the batters. Batters get ample time to play their shots through the line and accumulate runs. However, early on in the innings, the seam bowlers can extract movement and bounce due to the freshness of the pitch.
Chasing should not be a sign of concern as the teams batting second have emerged victorious on more occasions (32) as opposed to teams batting first (25).
The average first innings score on this venue is 162 and the teams chasing have won fewer matches (23) than the teams batting first (28). So a good idea would be to bat on the surface and get enough runs on the board to kittle the opposition cheaply.
Lyca Kovai Kings vs Chepauk Super Gillies Weather Report
