RCB vs PBKS Pitch Report
Chinnaswamy Stadium usually witnesses high-scoring matches. The boundary dimensions here are small, which makes well-timed shots clear the ropes with ease. However, the surface here is suitable for spinners. We can anticipate a slow nature of the pitch during the RCB vs PBKS match on Monday.
As the innings progresses, batting may become a bit challenging. The toss winner in the match may opt to bowl first, as the venue is more favorable for the team batting second. Most of the IPL matches here have been won by the chasing teams.
