pitch Report
It is considered a bowling -friendly pitch which is suited for both sharp and spin. In the history of IPL, only two teams have crossed the 200 mark here. Its boundary is also larger than most stadiums in India. However, in the last few matches here, teams have also scored big scores. The toss winning team is expected to bowl before the winning team is always something for the fast bowler in the first few overs. Long boundary means here it is also clear that the spinner will be included in the competition in the middle over. Things can be more favorable while chasing the target in the night -time match here.

The team had to lose their previous match by a run against Kolkata Knight Riders, which was a very close match.
