The pitch at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium is traditionally known to favour batters. The ball comes nicely onto the bat, allowing stroke-makers to play freely right from the first delivery. With relatively short boundaries, the venue further enhances scoring opportunities, making it a high-scoring ground.
For bowlers, however, it can be a challenging task. Defending totals here is difficult, and they must rely heavily on disciplined line and length, along with smart variations, to contain the flow of runs. RCB vs LSG: Predicted Playing XIsRoyal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB):
