Pitch Report 

Bengaluru’s M. Chinnaswamy Stadium is a paradise for batsmen, with short boundaries and a lightning quick outfield. It is batter-friendly, and matches often produce an avalanche of runs. Bowlers, and spinners in particular, might get some help as the game wears on. Tossing teams usually opt to chase because dew can make bowling difficult later in the game.
