Pitch Report
The MA Chidambaram Stadium pitch in Chennai is historically known for assisting spinners, but recent trends have seen chasing teams find success here. The surface is expected to be balanced, with the possibility of some extra moisture due to recent rainfall. This could offer early assistance to seamers before spinners come into play as the game progresses.
With India already securing the series, the focus will now shift to whether the weather holds up for a full 100-over contest and if Afghanistan can salvage some pride with a consolation victory against the dominant hosts.
