Royal Challengers Bangalore will be hosting Kolkata Knight Riders at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium on Wednesday (April 26) in a crucial IPL 2023 encounter.

As the two familiar foes lock horns on Wednesday, here we take a look at the pitch M Chinnaswamy Stadium has to offer and also the weather of Bangalore, which kind of shuffles from sunny to rainy this time of the year-

RCB vs KKR IPL 2023 M Chinnaswamy Stadium Pitch Report

The Chinnaswamy Stadium is known for its run fest and the batting-friendly wickets. It is known as the spinners graveyard as ball often travels out of the park. This season the runs have come but teams have also been able to defend scores at the stadium.

RCB have won two matches while defending scores less than 200 and it has also provided some sort of assistance to spinners at the latter stages. They won their last home match against Rajasthan Royals by 7 runs, while also managing to win against DC earlier. CSK also won the match defending, but Dhoni's men scored 226 in that match.

The venue historically has overwhelmingly helped the batters and it promises to function like the same on Wednesday. You can expect good cricket but captains would be keen to bowl first if they win the toss.
