Today is a really important game for both New Zealand and Afghanistan, and a lot of winning and loosing of the Match depends on the pitch too, and Chennai's legendary MA Chidambaram Stadium's Pitch is for its distinguishing features.

The MA Chidambaram Stadium traditionally offers favourable conditions for spin bowlers. The pitch is known to be slow and dry in the afternoon, aiding the spinner and making it difficult for the batters to get going.

As the sun sets, the pitch can become better for batters, especially at night when the dew sets in, making it tough for the bowlers to grip the ball.

Does that mean with Afghanistan choosing to bowl first and bat at the second innings a great decision by its captain? Although as per the reports the pitch conditions seem favourable for Afghanistan, and also after giving spectacular performance, it will be not right to underestimate team Afghanistan as anything can happen at the game called cricket.
