IND vs ZIM: ‘Fresh’ Chepauk pitch should bring welcome relief for India

 Team India’s T20 struggles have put pitch conditions under scrutiny ahead of their must-win game against Zimbabwe.

Batting first appears to be the preferred strategy given recent night-game results. Team India’s T20 struggles have put pitch conditions under scrutiny ahead of their must-win game against Zimbabwe.
