Bengaluru Pitch M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru rated 'below average': ICC
Bengaluru: The pitch at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru, which staged the second Test between India and Sri Lanka, was rated "below average" by match referee Javagal Srinath, the International Cricket Council (ICC) said on Sunday.
Javagal Srinath of the Emirates ICC Elite Panel of Match Referees has rated the pitch at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru that was used for the second Test between India and Sri Lanka as “below average” and the venue has received one demerit point under the ICC Pitch and Outfield Monitoring Process, read the ICC statement.
Srinath said: “The pitch offered a lot of turn on the first day itself and though it improved with every session, in my view, it was not an even contest between bat and ball.”
Srinath’s report has been forwarded to the Board of Control for Cricket in India.
India won the match by 238 runs to clinch the series 2-0.
