BB vs SL Pitch Report

The pitch at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru, will allow for good stroke play and the batters will find it easy to bat on the surface. 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. Given the track's trueness, slow balls generally don't work at this venue. So, the pacers will mostly rely on hitting the hard length and bowling yorkers to succeed here. There will be some help for the spinners in the middle overs. Both teams will prefer chasing at this venue.
