Some of the best players in the world, like Virat Kohli, Josh Hazlewood, Jos Buttler, Rashid Khan, Shubman Gill, and others, will be in action.

Pitch Report

The match between GT and RCB will take place at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. The surface is known to be one of the best for batting and is likely to be the same this season. The pitch might have something in it for the spinners. Pacers might get some early swing. But the batters should be able to cope with it.

It's one of the smallest stadiums in the world and the batters will be comfortable in clearing the fence. Dew might not be a factor at this stage of the tournament. However, chasing the totals is comparatively easier at the venue. Toss might not be a huge factor. But the team winning the toss would love to bowl first.
