According to the latest weather forecast, Bengaluru is expected to experience clear skies on Friday evening. While the city has seen some cloud cover earlier in the week, the probability of rain during the match hours is currently rated as negligible.

Temperatures during the evening kick-off are forecast to hover between 27°C and 29°C, providing relatively comfortable playing conditions compared to the intense heatwaves currently affecting northern parts of India. Humidity levels are expected to remain moderate at approximately 55–60 percent, which may lead to some dew formation in the latter half of the contest.

Pitch Report

The M. Chinnaswamy Stadium is traditionally a high-scoring venue, and Friday’s match is unlikely to buck that trend. The red-soil surface is expected to favour batters, with the short boundaries at the ground typically leading to high first-innings totals.

Captains Rajat Patidar (RCB) and Shubman Gill (GT) are both likely to consider bowling first to take advantage of the anticipated dew factor. Chasing teams have historically enjoyed success here, as the wet outfield can make it difficult for bowlers to grip the ball during the second innings.
