Pitch Report according to previous Records:

The M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru is a well-known batting paradise featuring a flat surface with reliable pace, good bounce, and very short boundaries. Fast bowlers can extract a bit of early swing with a new ball (especially under lights or overcast conditions), but they often face heavy punishment once the ball softens.

Official Live Pitch Report:

"The surface itself has been under cover since we arrived at the ground until a couple of minutes ago, and with all the rain around in Bangalore and over the Chinnaswamy over the last few days, there's bound to be some moisture under the surface, but on top it looks good. It may seem to be a little bit slow. There might be some lateral movement. It's a 9-over game, and the powerplay constitutes 2.4 overs. So look, it's anyone's guess. I think with all the moisture in the outfield, teams might prefer to know what they want to chase in this very important final game of this five-match series," reads Ian Bishop.
