Pitch Report 

Royal Challengers Bengaluru vs Chennai Super Kings- The 52nd match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 is set to be played at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru. The pitch here is batting-friendly, which helps batters enjoy an advantage by scoring big runs. The pitch at the Chinnaswamy Stadium offers a decent blend of help for both batters and bowlers. Boundaries of the stadium are short which will help batters but there is still something for the pacers, as they can get help in the beginning of the game. Dew on the ground, especially during the second innings, makes it harder for bowlers to hold the ball properly, and it often slips from their hands. This becomes even tougher for spinners, as they rely more on grip. That’s why most teams choose to bowl first after winning the toss — so they can bat later when the dew helps the ball come on better for the batters.
