Can we expect the Chinnaswamy surface to host another run feast? Ahead of RCB vs DC, let’s take a detailed look at the pitch report and head-to-head record
In-form but still, the backbenchers, Royal Challengers Bengaluru, are getting ready to fight at their home ground, M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, against the Delhi Capitals. Since both teams have been facing quite a bit of struggle as far as qualifying for the IPL playoffs is concerned, this game is important for both. But mostly for Royal Challengers Bengaluru, it is a do-or-die situation as they are in the 8th spot after 12 games.
If RCB wants to get the immunity booster shot, they have to register a big win against DC. Ahead of this do-or-die clash between RCB vs DC, let’s take a look at the pitch report and see what we can expect from the Bengaluru surface this time.
Always a run feast, the M. Chinnaswamy surface is known as heaven for batters. With short boundaries and flat pitches, it’s nothing but a nightmare for any bowler. We can expect the same thing in this game, too.
But surely, praising the skies just for the batters is not a fact, as there is something for bowlers as well. If we look at the previous record also, on one hand, Hyderabad registered a record 287 total against Bengaluru on this ground, but Gujarat were bowled out for just 147. Hinting that bowlers can do a lot if they focus on the basics. A slower ball can do the trick here. Registering all the notes, chasing is the best outfit here at this ground.
