The Coin Will Be Tossed At 7:00 Pm ISD

IMPORTANT FACTORS AND WEATHER

The weather at the stadium is cloudy yet but it is expected to get cleared an hour before the match.

Humdity Plays an Important Factor In cricket matches, As you might have heard from the captains who choose to chase by saying we are expecting the dew factor in the second winnings.

The humidity percentage in today’s match varies from 58%-75%.

PITCH REPORT

The match between KXIP and DC was also played on DUBAI INTERNATIONAL CRICKET STADIUM.

So, The Pitch had very few small green grasses which helped a bit to the seamers but it was more a batting pitch.

But the match SRH VS RCB will not be played on the same pitch as all grounds have 3-4 pitches at the center and so the match today will be played on another pitch which was very greeny and had more grass as compared to yesterday.

So, Bowlers will have an advantage today, The pitch is not at all a spin-friendly so only those spinners who use wrist and a bit of finger will be able to do well today and it will help a lot to the seamers. The first 6 overs would be crucial for both the teams as the new ball will swing and seam, so the bowling team will be looking for wickets and the batting team will look for runs as well as to defend wickets.

MATCH PREDICTION

As Yesterday, The match was very thrilling as a watcher but for a punter, it was a jackpot match as both the sides the match odds reached 30p and below and also the match went to the super overs.So, Today I expect the match to be kinda one-sided and not much ups and downs are expected.RCB’s Squad looks very strong after an awesome play at the auction. The RCB finally looks balanced. Fans will be very happy with the auction and the squad.While SRH released their star opener, Shikhar Dhawan.They will be probably opening with DAVID WARNER and JOHNNY BAIRSTOW.The SRH side is also very strong and everyone will be looking ahead to them.

THE PROBABLE WINNER OF THE TODAY’S MATCH SHOULD BE RCB.
