Pitch Report
As has been the case historically, the Chinnaswamy is expected to dish out a flat surface for the game between Bangalore and Gujarat. This batter’s paradise boasts a flat, hard wicket and short boundaries, promising an explosion of sixes and high scores. While the recent use of black soil has introduced some unpredictability to the pitch, the overall trend favours big hitters. Still, the bowlers who are disciplined and accurate can have a say. Variations will be the key for them. Fielding will be an important part of the game. Exceptional athleticism and sharp fielding skills are essential to restrict scoring opportunities, especially on these compact boundaries. Every catch and run saved could prove decisive.
With RCB being a participant in this game, the stadium is likely to be packed as we saw in the recent game between the home side and UP Warriorz.
