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).


The final pitch conditions will be revealed closer to toss time, but teams will likely keep both scenarios in mind when selecting their playing XIs.

Weather Forecast: Hot and Clear

  • Morning Temperature: Around 34°C
  • Afternoon Peak: Around 35°C

Hydration and player fitness will be key under the intense heat, especially for teams fielding first.
