PITCH REPORT:

It has been difficult to score runs with the new ball, so far at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, as the ball gets old, it becomes easy to score runs. Also, the spinners are not getting help here. Dew will be a very important factor in the night matches and the team that wins the toss should opt to chase the target.

MATCH PREDICTION:

Our match prediction meter is telling us that RCB will win in this match; however, the match is expected to be exciting. Batting is the strength of both teams and whoever does better in the scoring dept can win in today's match.
