RCB vs KKR, DY Patil Stadium. RCB lost their last game vs PBKS after piling up the mammoth total of 205 runs. M Siraj and H Patel failed to fetch wickets in the death overs. A concerning sign for RCB. On the other hand, KKR defeated CSK! That too in the Wankhede! That must have boosted the morale of the KKR team.

DY Patil stadium is no friend of RCB so far. They lost 2 of 3 matches here while KKR won 2 of 2 games. This ground helps greatly to batters. Bowlers don't seem to get much help here. The team should opt to chase here.
