PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS

Weather Conditions

There will be clear skies in Bengaluru on February 29. The wicket has been hard on the bowlers, and the flat surface and fast outfield have allowed batters to score runs easily. To feel safe, the side batting first in this game would look for a score near the 170-run mark.

RCBW vs DCW Pitch Report

M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru, has always been among the best batting wickets in India, where batters can score runs easily. The smaller boundaries also make it easy to play big shots. There is little margin of error for the bowlers on this track.

Toss: To Bowl

Bowl first and chase the score have been the mantra for most sides this season. The side chasing the score in the last five games has won four times. Hence, we see the side winning the toss here opt for bowling first.
