The weather is a bit cloudy and rain is expected around the toss time. The players are out and practising. The pitch no. 8 is going to be used today. The pitch has a bit of live grass in the middle with the ends being dry. The boundaries are short and a high-scoring game is on the cards. Win the toss, bowl first could be the choice of the captains because of the weather.

The Faf du Plessis-led RCB are playing the same team which they played in the last game whereas DC have included Kumar Kushagra in place of Rishabh Pant and Rasikh Dar Salam is also in the final XI.
