KKR vs RCB Live Score: Pitch Report

“This is an afternoon game and that changes the dynamics completely. One short boundary at 61m, the other side is at 66m, the straight boundary is 73m long. It’s very hot at 43 degrees and the pitch will suffer because of that, it’s very dry. Most of the pitch looks even and flat, but there’s one big chunk where it’s extremely dry, the grass has been removed. It’s around the spinner’s length and they could exploit the patches. Otherwise, this pitch has plenty of runs on offer. With this heat, the captain winning the toss should opt to bat first,” reckons Graeme Swann and Sanjay Manjrekar, in their pitch report.
