RCB vs KKR: M. Chinnaswamy Stadium Pitch Report
The M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru is traditionally known for its batting-friendly pitch and short boundaries, making it a haven for big hitters. High scores are common, especially under lights. However, for IPL 2025, rain is in sight, which could alter pitch conditions slightly. The added moisture might make the surface a bit slower than usual, offering some grip for spinners and reducing the ball’s pace off the bat. Seamers could also benefit early on with some movement. Teams winning the toss may prefer to chase, factoring in weather interruptions and the possibility of a slower second innings pitch. Team that wins the toss will choose to bowl first as per the stats and record, the average first innings score this IPL 2025 is 182.
