Sri Lanka vs West Indies, 2016 – SL 122/9, WI 127/3

Though the average first innings score here is 155, the recent matches have shown that scoring around 180 runs is not too big of a hassle in Bengaluru. Moreover, the toss is going to play a crucial role here, as with the dew factor being at play, it is very hard to contain runs in the second part of the game. Out of the seven T20I matches played on this venue, only two have been won by the team batting first.

The pitch at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium is harsh on all kinds of bowlers, bet it someone with express pace or mystery spin. However, India will be pinning their hopes on Yuzvendra Chahal for a couple of reasons.
Firstly, Chahal will know this track very well, having spent a long time with Royal Challengers Bangalore in the Indian Premier League. To add to that, he is also the leading wicket-taker on this pitch when it comes to T20I cricket, having scalped 6 wickets in two matches at an average of only 12.
