Is MA Chidambaram batting or bowling pitch?

The MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chepauk has witnessed quite a few high scoring matches in this season. However, the nature of the wicket has always been slow and the spinners have made the most of the conditions. Something similar is expected to happen in this match as we saw in DC vs CSK, the last game played here. With dew being a factor in the latter part of the game, expect team winning the toss to chase.
