M Chinnaswamy Stadium Pitch Report

The pitch at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru is known to be a batter's paradise. It usually offers a belter of a surface and with short boundaries, the pitches are flat, making it a nightmare for bowlers. 

The pitch is slightly tricky to bat first as the ball tends to hold onto the surface. In the second half of the match, batting becomes easy as witnessed in the last few games at this venue. 

At this track, fast bowlers might get some help at the start of the innings with the new ball. The match between RCB and CSK is likely expected to be a high-scoring fixture, and the toss-winning captain is likely to choose fielding. 

Given the flat nature of the pitch and the close boundaries, chasing becomes a preferred strategy in this scenario.
