M. Chinnaswamy Stadium Pitch Report

The M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru is widely acclaimed for its batting-friendly conditions, making it a favorite venue for high-scoring T20 matches. The pitch offers a consistent bounce, which enables batters to play their shots with confidence and ease. The short boundaries further amplify scoring opportunities, often leading to thrilling, high-run encounters. Teams batting first typically target a total of over 180 runs, capitalizing on the favorable conditions. While fast bowlers can extract some movement early on, it is the spinners who generally come into their own as the match progresses, with the pitch becoming drier. Given these dynamics, teams often prefer to bat first upon winning the toss, aiming to post a commanding total and put pressure on the opposition.
