The probability of rain is only 1% in the evening and the weather is expected to stay partly cloudy with some humidity too. We shall get a full game.
The Chepauk surface traditionally favours the spinners. But this season there were four scores of over 200 in ten innings. However, in the last game, the ball was holding and the surface was playing slowly in that afternoon game. There was not much turn but spinners shall have a good time here.
