Chinnaswamy Stadium Pitch Report

It goes without saying that the Chinnaswamy pitch has been very kind to the batters over the years. We expect nothing short of a run-scoring extravaganza in the final T20I, with the shorter boundaries on offer. However, the pitch offers some assistance to the quicker bowlers, who can benefit from the extra bounce generated from the wicket.

Last result at the venue

The last T20I in Bangalore took place between India and Australia last month. The hosts came out victorious, as they defended a total of just 160 runs. India claimed the victory by just six runs, to win the five-match series, 4-1.

Who will win 3rd T20I between India and Afghanistan?

Team India have been dominant in the previous two T20Is. The hosts were in a spot of bother in the second T20I, but the duo of Shivam Dube and Yashasvi Jaiswal batted magnificently.
The hosts will be tempted to test their bench strength, however, they are still the certain favorites to win this fixture.
Afghanistan have managed to pick early wickets, however, they have been unable to break into India’s middle order this series. The visitors will have to keep tabs on India’s scoring through the middle overs.
