M. Chinnaswamy Stadium Pitch Report

The most significant aspect of the Chinnaswamy Stadium is its small size. The venue is one of the smallest international stadiums in India. As if this wasn't enough for the bowlers to be scared, the pitch doesn't help them much either.

The pitch has historically been batting-friendly. The bowlers often have their fates written beforehand at the Chinnaswamy. The final T20I between India and Australia is expected to be a high-scoring match.

Small boundaries should favour the hard-hitting batsmen, combined with little help to the bowlers.
