MUM-W vs DEL-W, Pitch Report and Playing Conditions
The pitch of M Chinnaswamy Stadium always benefited batsmen. There is little available for the bowlers, but the batters receive full value for their shots. Spinners, on the other hand, may be quite effective on the wicket provided their variations are used correctly. As batting is strength of the two sides, both captains will seek to chase if they win the toss.
