M. Chinnaswamy Stadium Pitch Report Today
The surface at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium is expected to be a balanced one. It has always been a good venue for the batters but bowlers have also found assistance from the surface this year and made life difficult for the batters. Seamers have found movements initially with spinners getting a hold during the middle-overs.
Moreover, as the tournament has progressed this season, batting first has proven to be tricky in Bengaluru with dew coming into play later. Therefore, the team winning the toss should elect to bowl first.
