Pitch report

The surface at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru is a batter’s paradise. T20 games at this venue have frequently seen 200+ totals as the batters make the best use of the shorter boundaries. Spinners don’t get much assistance here as compared to the pacers but a high-scoring game can be expected.
