Pitch Report :
The pitch at the MA Chidambaram stadium is expected to provide a decent amount of support to both batters and bowlers in this game. Although the pacers have accounted for nearly 70 percent of the wickets in the last five matches, spin is likely to play a big role in this match. Dew is expected to play a role in the match at Chepauk. Both teams will ideally look to bat first upon winning the toss, with the pitch expected to slow down as the match progresses. So spinner likes Bishnoi and Piyush Chawla are going to be crucial at this pitch. The spinners can be the match winning factor at Chennai.
Average first innings score here is 290 runs so far.

Preview :
Pakistan and Afghanistan will lock horns against each in their 22nd game of the ongoing ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 in India. The match is set to take place at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai, the venue which allready hosted three matches in this tournament.
Both Pakistan and Afghanistan are coming after losing their last matches, where Pakistan lost its last match to Australia by 62 runs, while Afghanistan had to face a big defeat by 149 runs against New Zealand. Pakistan is at fifth position in the points table with two wins and two losses from 4 matches. Whereas Afghanistan has won only one match out of 4 and is in ninth position.
The good thing for Pakistan is that almost all its batsmen seem to be in good form. In the last match, where both the opening batsmen gave a good start to the team and scored half centuries, Mohammad Rizwan has batted very well so far in this tournament and has also scored a brilliant century. It is a matter of concern that captain Babar Azam is getting starts but has not been successful in converting him into the big score. Talking about bowling, Shaheen Afridi took the second 5 wicket haul of this season in the last match.
Even though Afghanistan lost its last but before this Afghanistan gave a memorable performance against England in the a match ago Afghanistan and achieved his first win over England in any format. Batting first, Afghanistan had set a challenging target of 285 runs for England. In this, opener batsman Rahmatullah Gurbaz played a brilliant inning of 80 runs, along with young wicketkeeper batsman Ikram Alikhil also played an inning of 58 runs.
The England team's batting to chase this target was not good and it looked ineffective in front of Afghan spin. Rashid Khan and Mujeeb Ur Rehman, considered the backbone of Afghan bowling, took three wickets each, while all-rounder Mohammad Nabi also took 2 wickets. With this victory.
Both the teams would like to further strengthen their position in the points table by winning this important match.
