Chinnaswamy Stadium T20 records: M Chinnaswamy Stadium Bengaluru T20 stats and highest innings total

Chinnaswamy Stadium T20 records: The iconic Bengaluru cricket stadium will be hosting its eighth T20I tomorrow.

The fifth T20I of the ongoing South Africa’s tour of India will be played in Bengaluru tomorrow. Expected to be a dead-rubber after South Africa won the first two T20Is, the final match of the series will now be a series-decider after India have come back from behind to win the last two T20Is.

Eighth T20I to be played at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium, India will be playing their sixth match in the shortest format here. In their previous five matches, India have won two and lost three T20Is at this venue. South Africa, on the other hand, had won their lone Bengaluru T20I (last T20I to be played here).
