Pitch Report

The Chinnaswamy pitch in India is well-known for favoring batsmen, with little to no assistance for bowlers. This makes it one of the country’s high-scoring grounds, with an average first total of 170. The pitch tends to provide little to no advantage for bowlers, putting more pressure on the batsmen to score runs. Overall, the Chinnaswamy pitch can be a challenging environment for bowlers, but an ideal one for batsmen looking to put up a big score in the RCB vs MI Prediction.
