Five-time champions Australia will take on the unpredictable Pakistan in match 18 of the ICC World Cup 2023. After incurring two crushing defeats, Australia finally opened their account on the points table with a convincing win over Sri Lanka in Lucknow. On the contrary, Pakistan, who kickstarted their campaign with a couple of thumping victories, surrendered to arch-rivals India in a one-sided contest in Ahmedabad. 

This match holds significant importance for both teams as they need a win to get the momentum going. As the iconic M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru gears up to host the contest, let's see how its pitch is expected to behave throughout the game. 


M. Chinnaswamy Stadium Bengaluru Pitch Report

The surface at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru generally stays flat and conducive for the batters. The ball comes nicely onto the bat, and with quick outfield and small boundary dimensions, the venue has traditionally been a paradise for the batters. So, it's a high-scoring ground with minimal assistance for the bowlers. 

As it's the first World Cup game in Bengaluru, we expect a batting-friendly track for this clash. Its even pace and bounce will help the batters play shots freely, while the bowlers must keep it tight to be effective, as the margin of error will be significantly less for them. The spinners might get a hint of turn here, but considering the flatness of the surface, the toss-winner will likely opt to field first.
