The pitch at Bengaluru has been a relatively slowish surface in the three matches that have been played at this venue so far. As the match progresses, the pitch becomes a bit better to bat on. Due to inclement weather in the last few days, there has been no dew on the outfield, hence making an even field for both bat & ball to play. According to the norm set for this venue, the team that wins the toss will look to field first once again.
The weather in Bengaluru is expected to be hot. Since this is going to be a night game, it'll bring some respite for the players from the scorching heat. The temperatures will hover at 34°C, with no chances of rain.
The Royal Challengers Bengaluru have a better chance of winning this match compared with the Rajasthan Royals.
