BB vs HT Pitch Report

The pitch at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru, is typically flat, and nearly every evening game at this ground involves some dew, which makes it favourable for teams batting second. The pitch will allow for good stroke play and the batters will find it easy to bat on 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.

Fantasy value from the pitch report

• Aggressive opening and top-order batters will come in handy to counter early swing in the powerplay overs.
• Fast bowlers with good variations and spinners who bowl in the middle overs from either side will also get you good points.
