It hasn't rained much since Yesterday barring slight drizzles. There was a bit of moisture in the pitch in the last game played here b🔯ut things are not the same today. The square boundaries are 60 metres each and down the ground, it is 70 metres. The pitch looks rock-hard and a lot of runs are on the cards. There is no grass but a few cracks which can help spinners.
To qualify for the playoffs, RCB must win this match by 18 runs or more. A win is enough for CSK to proceed further. If RCB win the match but 🦩fail to fulfil the required criteria, CSK will go through the next round.
