M Chinnaswamy Stadium Pitch Report
The M. Chinnaswamy Stadium is a dream venue for batters. Short boundaries on all sides allow them to swing their willow and pile on big scores freely. However, this makes life difficult for fast bowlers, who need help to contain the run flow.
But it’s not all sunshine and sixes for batters. Spinners come into play during the middle overs. The pitch can offer some turn and grip, which skilled spinners can exploit to slow down the scoring rate and take crucial wickets, potentially halting the batting team’s momentum.
