M Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru Pitch Report

The pitches at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium has often produced run feasts in IPL, but since the new drainage system, there have been times when games have ended in low-scoring matches. In the recent WPL season also there was a mixture of high-scoring and low-scoring contests.

Last season, we saw near 200 totals being scored often, including in run chases. The venue also saw the team batting first find more success as opposed to what history suggests for teams chasing winning most times.

In the WPL earlier this month, we saw the teams chasing win on most occasions with average score of 133. The pattern may continue, but we may see scores past 170 scored during the IPL at the Bengaluru venue.
