Pitch and Playing Conditions

The M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru is usually known for its batting-friendly pitch with short boundaries. This allows batsmen to score big runs easily. However, in the ongoing IPL season, things have been a bit different.

Surprisingly, the pitch has been slower this year, offering some help to the bowlers as well. This has resulted in a lower average score of 115 runs per match. In the matches played so far in WPL, there has been some due towards the later part of the game which has prompted the teams to bowl first on this ground.
