The surface at Bengaluru is expected to be a batting paradise with the ball coming nicely onto the bat. However, there could be some swing & movement on offer for the fast bowlers with the new ball, there could be some tackiness too since the game will start at 7:30. As the match progresses, dew will mark its presence, hence chasing will become easier. The team that wins the toss is most likely to field first.
Bengaluru's weather is expected to be wet. There are 70% chances of rainfall on the matchday, and temperatures will hover around 28°C.
The Royal Challengers Bengaluru have a better chance of winning this match as they are in better form than the Kolkata Knight Riders.
