Having clashed three times already this season, RCB holds the edge with two wins, including the all-important Qualifier 01.
However, Punjab Kings bounced back with a five-wicket victory against Mumbai Indians in the qualifier 02 at Ahmedabad.
As per Accuweather, the temperature at the city will range between 35 and 30 degrees Celsius. With the humidity can go upto 63%, palms would be sweaty resulting in slippery deliveries.
Wind could gust up to 19 km/hr and cloud patches will not affect the clash with negligible chances of rain of 2-5%.
The Narendra Modi Stadium Pitch has favoured batters this season, but spinners could have some advantage after the powerplay. The bowlers will enjoy if the pitch on offer is a red soil wicket, which will help them in generating extra bounce, which isn’t the case in the black soil surface.
The surface also has some bounce for pacers. However, dew might make difference in the second innings.
