As India and Australia prepare for their final showdown in the five-match T20 series this Sunday, all eyes are on the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru, a venue with a reputation for high-scoring games. 

The match, scheduled to commence at 7:00 pm IST, is more than just a formality; it's an opportunity for the Suryakumar Yadav-led Indian team to extend their dominance, having already clinched the series 3-1.

The journey to this decisive fifth match has been a rollercoaster for both teams. India set the tone with consecutive victories at Visakhapatnam and Thiruvananthapuram, only to face a hiccup in Guwahati. However, the Men in Blue swiftly regained their form, sealing the series with a 20-run win in Raipur on December 1.

As we gear up for IND vs AUS 5th T20I, here’s a look at the Chinnaswamy Stadium pitch report.


M. Chinnaswamy Stadium Bengaluru Pitch Report

The M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, known for its compact size and batter-friendly conditions, presents a unique challenge. Its smaller dimensions and flat pitch have historically favoured run-scoring, making it a haven for batsmen.

The venue has witnessed a mix of high and low-scoring dramas in recent times. In ODIs, scores crossing the 300-run mark were a common sight during the World Cup 2023, while in T20Is, the venue has slightly favoured teams chasing, with an average first innings score of 139. Out of 8 T20Is played here, teams batting second have won 5 times as compared to teams batting first who have emerged victorious twice, with one match ending in no result.

The winter season adds another layer of complexity, with the possibility of dew playing a role in the game's outcome, although its impact might be delayed compared to other venues. The captain winning the toss is likely to bowl first.

As the teams gear up for this exciting finale, the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium stands ready to host what promises to be an enthralling contest, a fitting end to a series that has entertained fans worldwide.
