The Chinnaswamy has been and will probably again be a batting paradise this season. Teams bowling second was the norm last year, and yet again, the pattern can be repeated. Leg spinners like Asha Sobhana were able to extract some help from the pitch, and yet again, spinners would love to use their guile on a pitch that has always been a batting-friendly track.
There is no rain predicted in Bengaluru on Friday, and the temperature is expected to be in the 20-30 degree Celsius range.
