At the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai for today’s 31st ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 match between New Zealand and Canada, the surface is expected to be a typically slow and spin-friendly wicket. Early in the game the pitch should be reasonably even for batting, but as the match progresses the dryness and slower bounce could assist spinners and make stroke-play tougher. Teams winning the toss might prefer bowling first, especially with dew likely later, which can make bowling harder and chasing a competitive total slightly easier. A par score here in T20Is often hovers around the 150-165 mark, demanding patience and smart shot selection from batters.
