As we gear up for the SRH vs RCB encounter, let’s take a look at the weather forecast and pitch conditions for the match.

SRH vs RCB: Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium Pitch Report

The Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium is renowned for its flat surface, which is expected to assist the spinners. Seamers are unlikely to find much assistance from the pitch.

Moreover, the pitch offers minimal seam movement to the new ball bowlers during the crucial power-play overs. With its even bounce, batters are likely to relish batting at the ground, especially when facing a hard new ball.

The presence of dew could significantly impact the match outcome. Teams batting second have a favourable record at the stadium, and if dew comes into play, the chasing team is likely to gain an advantage.

In both previous encounters, the team batting second emerged victorious, indicating that the stadium is conducive to chasing. Furthermore, the pitch favours spinners over pacers, while batters also benefit from the flat surface.
