RCB vs PBKS IPL 2025 Match Pitch Report
Chasing has proven to be the better strategy at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium this season, with both matches so far being convincingly won by teams batting second. With short boundaries offering little room for error, bowlers will be under pressure throughout. Dew is likely to influence the second innings, potentially making batting easier. Any team batting first will need to aim for a total of over 200 to stay competitive.
