The M.Chinnaswamy Stadium is a batters' paradise. The pitches have assisted the batters a lot and there have been high totals at this venue. This is what was on display in the IPL 2024 and even in other International matches.
The pitches don't have any assistance for the bowlers, the boundary sizes are small and there is hardly any room for error for the bowlers at this venue. They will need to be as accurate as they can to stop the batters.
