IPL 2021, Match 1: Mumbai Indians vs Royal Challengers Bangalore (MI vs RCB) – Pitch Report
MA Chidambaram Stadium (Chepauk, Chennai) will host this new IPL season-opener where Mumbai Indians will play against Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB). It is going to be the first T20 match at this venue since IPL 2019 Qualifier 1 where Mumbai Indians beat Chennai Super Kings (CSK) by 6 wickets.
This venue majorly brings batting-friendly wickets for T20 cricket. However, with time progress, the spinners also get important benefits from the tracks.
Recently, this venue hosted two Tests between India and England, where the venue brought typical Asian pitches in both those Tests, but the second Test pitch was more helpful for the spinners.
