Pitch Report
The Chinnaswamy has always been a high-scoring ground. This has been one of the most iconic stadiums in the country already. Even the last few games at this venue have been high-scoring. The skiddy surface and short boundaries are the big reasons why this is an absolute batting paradise. If we go back in history the highest total in T20s is at this venue itself. This is the exact stadium which is perfect for the opener of the second edition of the WPL.
