M Chinnaswamy Stadium Bengaluru Pitch Report
Chinnaswamy Stadium has a reputation of being a high-scoring ground all thanks to small boundaries. The average first innings score at Chinnaswamy Stadium in the 2018 and 2019 seasons was 184. However, the spin bowlers especially leg spinners play an important role here. Their role in the middle overs is going to be crucial.
Pacers can get help in the initial overs but as the match progresses, their economy rate is expected to go higher and higher. The team who chases a total tends to have an upper hand in Bengaluru Stadium. So choosing to bowl first can be considered a good option, especially in night matches as the dew factor may also play its past in the games which will start at 7:30 PM.
