The pitch at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru is expected to be a batting paradise. It is a venue where the ball flies to all corners of the ground, an absolute minefield for the bowlers.
Even though the venue doesn't favor the bowlers much, the fast bowlers can still use the good length area to their advantage, while the spinners will have to bowl a wicket-to-wicket line to contain the flow of runs. The team that wins the toss will look to field first because of dew coming in 2nd innings.
The weather in Bengaluru will be pleasant. The temperatures will hover around 23°C. There are no chances of rain in this game.
The Royal Challengers Bengaluru have had the upper hand over the Gujarat Titans in the head-to-head record. RCB also looks a lot better than GT; hence, RCB has a better chance to win this match.
