RCB vs PBKS M. Chinnaswamy Stadium Pitch Report:
The pitch at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru has behaved differently than it traditionally does. The surface, which is known to be a batting-friendly track, has assisted the bowlers in the ongoing IPL season with batters having to time the ball to clear the boundary, which wasn't the case a few years ago.
A total of 97 IPL games have been played at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, which has witnessed some iconic innings, including the highest individual score of 175* in IPL history made by Chris Gayle at this very ground against the Pune Warriors Indian in 2013.
Out of the 97 games, the team batting first has won 41 matches while the chasing team has won 52 matches, with the highest successful chase being 213 by the Lucknow Super Giants against the Royal Challengers Bengaluru in 2023.
The highest team score at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium happens to be 287/3, which was scored by Sunrisers Hyderabad against RCB in the 17th edition of the league
Although the ground is quite small in size, the nature of the pitch nullifies that aspect of the game as the help on the surface makes it an even contest between bat and ball
RCB hasn't been able to cross the 200-run mark while batting first in the couple of home matches they have played in IPL 2025 and would like to rectify that record in the upcoming match against PBKS
A lot will depend on how the bowling lineup of both teams performs. If the bowlers can restrict the opposition to a score of 200-210, then both RCB and PBKS will fancy their chances of winning the game.
Conclusion
RCB would like to win the match against PBKS and move a step closer to a place in the playoffs, along with improving their record at home in IPL 2025
Meanwhile, PBKS would like to put on an improved batting performance against RCB and gain momentum for the matches to come.
