MD vs HT 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. 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.
Fantasy value from the pitch report
- Openers and top-order batters from both sides would be good picks.
- Fast bowlers with good yorkers and cutters from either side will also get you good points.
