Match Prediction

RCB will play their final match of the Bengaluru leg on Friday and are aiming for a win that keeps them in the top two before a run of away fixtures and a shift to Raipur in May. RCB have had five days off since losing to Delhi Capitals, and Virat Kohli had time to overcome a mild ankle strain after being touch-and-go for that game but taking the field. The matchup contrasts RCB’s gung-ho batting approach with GT’s more traditional build-and-explode method. ESPN flags the fast-bowling battle as a key spectacle, with Rabada, Siraj and Prasidh Krishna up against Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Josh Hazlewood.

Toss & Conditions

The match will be played on the same surface used for the CSK and DC games: the CSK game was high-scoring with RCB making 249, while the DC afternoon game was drier and more balanced. It is a night game, and the surface has had six days of preparation and watering for an even grass cover, with runs expected to flow again.
