Pitch Report
Traditionally, M. Chinnaswamy Stadium pitch is good for batting, and in IPL 2024, the average first innings score has been 193 for first. Out of 8 matches in this time, teams batting first have won 4. Yet, the pitch has also proved that it gave those new balls assistance to fast bowlers, making the crucial overs more vital. Due to dew’s effect during the second innings, teams may prefer to chase.
Weather Report: Cloudy throughout the evening with a slight chance of rain in Bengaluru, although with the excellent drainage at the venue, a full 40-over match seems most likely.
