GMY vs SL Pitch Report
The pitch at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru, is typically flat and it is known to be conducive for batters, with some assistance on offer for the fast bowlers as well, especially with the new-ball. 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.
