Pitch report

The M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru is renowned for its exceptional batting surface and high-scoring matches, owing to its short boundaries and fast outfield. Whether batting first or second, no total appears safe on this pitch, as teams often win from precarious situations. However, teams batting first must aim to score well over 200 to remain competitive in the match.

Best players from both of the teams

Best Batsman: Virat Kohli
