The fifth match of the ICC World Cup 2023 between India and Australia will be played at the M Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. This should be an exciting match between these two sides.
The surface here has always provided assistance to the spinners and it will be a sluggish wicket. The last time an ODI was played at this venue was in 2022 when South Africa were bowled out for 99 with spinners taking 9 out of the 13 wickets in the game. The average score at this venue is 230.
