England vs Sri Lanka Pitch Report:
One of the premier cricket stadiums in India, the M Chinnaswamy has always been known to be batting-friendly. It will assist fast bowlers early in the game but overall the pitch is conducive to high-scoring matches, especially because of the shorter boundaries. Due to the dry nature of the pitch, the ball can be expected to grip and turn during the latter stages of the game.
