Pitch Report: Ekana Stadium
The pitch at Ekana remains a key variable in this match and could heavily influence the outcome. Historically, the surface has shown two very different behaviors:- If the pitch is red soil, it offers more bounce and better conditions for batters, as seen in RCB’s recent high-scoring game against SRH at this venue.
- A black soil surface, on the other hand, tends to offer grip and turn, bringing spinners into the game. This could highlight the roles of Krunal Pandya (RCB) and Digvesh Rathi (LSG).
