M Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru Pitch Report

"Pitch number 7 which was used for the first game against Punjab Kings - 175 was the score. Average first innings score over here in the last few years has gone up to 196. What I have seen straightaway on this pitch is that it's very dry. I think there will be spin, especially for Glenn Maxwell," Murali Kartik and Graeme Swann have reckoned ahead of the RCB vs LSG match.

"We saw the other night (RCB vs PBKS), Glenn Maxwell was getting turn. Both spinners for RCB were getting turn - the left-armer and the off-spinner. This pitch is very dry. It's the highest turning ground on average this year in the IPL. This area outside the off-stump for the right-handed batsmen, this is the sort of area that Maxwell will be looking to pitch the ball.

"It's almost like a riverbed, very dry, a lot of these cracks don't move but right next to these cracks, there's a little bit of grass as well. The ball will behave differently whether it pitches on the brown bit or the green. It may be slightly two-paced. The odd ball turns, the odd ball goes straight. A very good pitch for bowling spin," they added.

Maxwell picked two wickets for RCB in the match, while pacers picked three. RCB were bundled out for 153 while chasing 182. Only one RCB wicket fell to spin as LSG pacers wreaked havoc. The chasing team won in the previous two matches here in IPL 2024.

Average score in the last five T20s at M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru is 187. All the teams opted to bowl first during the period, and won 47.06 percent of the time.
