In their previous meeting held at the Eden Gardens, the Royal Challengers Bangalore were done by KKR’s spin web. The trio of Sunil Narine, Varun Chakravarthy and debutant Suyash Sharma spun a web around the RCB batters on a wicket which was suited for their kind of bowling.

However, conditions would be different when these two sides will lock horns at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium. The venue has been a paradise for the batters for years and has been the same for this year as well.

Is M Chinnaswamy stadium Bangalore batting or bowling pitch?

M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bangalore is a batsman-friendly pitch. The pitch is typically flat and hard, allowing the ball to come onto the bat nicely, which can be advantageous for batsmen. As a result, high-scoring games are often witnessed at this stadium. The average first innings score in the 5 matches played here has been 195 which clearly states the domination of batters.

However, the pitch can also offer assistance to the spinners as the match progresses. The middle overs of the game can witness a slower and lower bounce, making it difficult for batsmen to play their shots. This situation can provide spinners with an opportunity to pick up wickets and restrict the flow of runs. All-in-all, the batters are going to relish their opportunity to play on this wicket.
