Pitch Report:
Initially, there was live grass in the middle but it's been shaved off now, leaving the surface very dry and hard, devoid of any grass. This venue has been unpredictable; we might see a score in the high 190s, making it favorable for batting. There's unlikely to be any dew tonight," commented Ian Bishop and Matthew Hayden during their pitch report.
RCB vs DC Preview:
This match is a virtual knockout game for both teams as a defeat for either side will mean elimination from the Indian Premier League 2024 playoffs race.
DC are placed fifth in the points table with 12 points in 12 matches with a net run-rate of -0.316, while RCB are on a four-match winning streak. They are among the eight teams in consideration for the playoffs, for which DC need to win their two remaining league games.
