Pitch report
M Chinnaswamy Stadium offers a pitch that can be regarded as a batter’s paradise. Pacers may enjoy some seam and swing at the start but would need to bowl tight lines and length to contain the batters as they might look to exploit the batting nature of the track. Teams winning the toss choose to bowl, with the average first innings score being 207.
