Pitch Report: M Chinnaswamy track always assists the batsmen; therefore bowlers will have to bring out their best in the match.  After all, who can forget the latest T20I game played at this venue between India and Australia where Glen Maxwell scored a century and gave bowlers tough time. We can expect the winner of the toss to chase, as dew factor will come into play as the day progresses, which will make the life of bowlers hell.
