M Chinnaswamy Stadium Pitch Report

The pitch in Bangalore is a belter for batting. It offers very little assistance for the pacers and there might be something in it for the spinners later in the game. With ground being small, the batters will make the most of their power hitters to maximise anything in their arc and since it’s a run scoring ground, chasing teams will also be in the game throughout. Average first innings score is 160
