CCL is back again with its unique “20-Over Test” format, where each team plays two innings of 10 overs each, resembling a Test match structure. The first match is set to take place between Chennai Rhinos and Bengal Tigers, and fans couldn’t ask for more. The game will be held at the iconic M Chinnaswamy Stadium, a venue known for high-scoring encounters, so we can expect plenty of runs.
Defending champions Bengal Tigers will aim to start their campaign on the right note. Under the captaincy of actor Jisshu Sengupta, they will look to dominate once again. However, Chennai Rhinos are not an easy team to defeat and will put up a strong fight. But how will the pitch behave? Take a look at the M Chinnaswamy pitch report ahead of the Chennai Rhinos vs Bengal Tigers CCL game.
M Chinnaswamy Pitch Report
Always a batting-friendly surface, M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru is known for its favourable conditions for batters. When there is no moisture or any other hindrance, it becomes a complete paradise for them, in stark contrast to bowlers. The shorter boundaries further come into play, allowing batters to take risks and play aggressive shots. Given the unique format of this tournament, a high-scoring game is expected. However, spinners might have a slight advantage, as they can trouble batters with flighted deliveries and create wicket-taking opportunities. It will be interesting to see how the upcoming CCL match comes.
