The pitch at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru, has been great for batters. In the last 6 matches, 54 wickets were taken by pacers, and 16 wickets were taken by the spinners. In the last match, it was clearly seen the spinners did not have much of a purchase from the pitch, and the batters enjoyed it well.
The overhead conditions are a bit cloudy. Pitch no.8 today, there was a 182 that was chased down earlier then there was 287 and the last game was 147 which was chased down comfortably. There was a lot of live grass in the middle with the ends being dry. The grass has now been shaved off, this is now very dry and extremely hard. No grass to speak of. This venue has been unpredictable, could be a score in the high 190s, should be good for batting.
There probably won’t be any dew as well tonight” say Ian Bishop and Matthew Hayden
