At the time of the toss, RCB skipper Virat Kohli said: "Going to have a bowl. The pitch does look a little bit dry. They've left enough grass in the game to sustain. Later in the second half, the pitch settles down a little bit. It's been hard work adjusting to all kinds of surfaces, and the teams that have done so have qualified. Some experiments come off, some don't. We come into this game feeling balanced about our lineup."
