M Chinnaswamy Stadium is a batter’s paradise and the short boundaries only add to the drawbacks for bowlers. The batters will see the ball coming onto the bat nicely and the spinners who can drag the length back will be in high demand. On the weather front, there is a 90 percent chance of rain with thunderstorms beckoning. Brace up for a cut-short game or a potential washout.
