Our correspondent, Purnima Malhotra, pings from the venue: Hello from Chinnaswamy Stadium! Looks like a few more stands have been opened today. Not a lot of footfall so far, but guessing from the all-round presence, all the lower stands seem open to public today.
Coming to the dimensions of the ground, it's 59m on the off-side, 57m on the leg-side and 66m down the ground. The variable bounce in the first ODI was present, someone who bowled really well was Renuka Singh Thakur as she hit the good lengths on this wicket. There’s less grass on this wicket and it’s going to crumbler later on. Overall, it’s a good wicket and there are a lot fo runs to be had, reckon WV Raman and Dan van niekerk in their pitch report
