This match-up between New Zealand and Pakistan should be an exciting showdown between teams, on 4th November, at M Chinnaswamy Stadium, from 10: 30 AM IST.

Pitch Report

The M Chinnaswamy Stadium is favoured by many cricket players, thanks to its relatively small size which allows for powerful hits. Additionally, the typical humidity of the evening session tends to give a slight edge to the team batting last.
