NZ vs AFG: Chennai’s World Cup matchup is a spinners delight. At Chennai’s MA Chidambaram Stadium on Wednesday, October 18, New Zealand and Afghanistan will square off in the 16th match of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023.
The Kiwis have won each of their first three World Cup games, continuing their outstanding play. Afghanistan, meanwhile, overcame two early defeats to triumph against the reigning champions, England, in a historic victory. Let’s look at the MA Chidambaram Stadium pitch report before the NZ vs. AFG game.
Pitch Report for MA Chidambaram Stadium
The slower wickets at the MA Chidambaram Stadium are well-known. We may anticipate that spin will be a big factor in the NZ vs AFG match because the red soil pitches in Chennai usually benefit spinners and slow bowlers. Each team has a potent spin unit. Moreover, only a few games have seen totals above 300 runs, with the average first-innings score at this location being about 232 runs.
Teams batting first have won 14 of the 25 ODIs held at this stadium, while chasing teams have triumphed 10 times, including the two World Cup 2023 matches. It is likely that the sides will continue to their strength of chasing down a total by keeping it around the average score at this venue, even if historical evidence favors teams batting first in Chennai.
