Pitch Report according to previous Records:

The M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru is a premier batting paradise known for its flat pitch, small boundaries, and rapid outfield, frequently producing high-scoring T20 games. It offers consistent bounce, helping batters trust their shots, while the second innings often favors chasers due to dew.

Official Live Pitch Report:

Mpumelelo Mbangwa and Faf du Plessis: "Righto, it's time to have a look at the playing conditions at this cauldron that is the Chinnaswamy. Let's start off, it's six-city this. Let's start off with the dimensions. 61m square and 68m square, so there's a shepherding that must go on. You know which side you'd rather be hitting to or not being hit to, as the case may be. Straight at 74m, but it is small. 55 sixes already here. It is an unbelievable wicket to come and bat here as an opening batter, but there sometimes is nice bounce and swing for the new ball. Getting through the new ball, it becomes nice for the batters. But looking at the surface today, it's a touch drier than it normally is. Normally when you get here, you see that little bit of green grass just standing up. Today it looks a touch barer and less grass. I think not as much bounce and there's been a little bit of seam movement up front, so I think not as much. Spin generally doesn't play a massive role here in terms of wickets taken, but it's the Krunal Pandyas that are good with their lengths, that bowls at the top of the stump, very effective. Still a very good pitch. I still think a very good score, but not as much as the other ones. Bat second and chase down? 100%. I' going with 220. It's still above the 200. Nice and good one, this one, for more sixes."
