In their previous encounter, Bengaluru met Delhi, and Delhi was asked to bat first. They started decently, but once the wicket fell, they kept losing one after the other and never had a partnership. They could only post 162 runs on the board, and in return, Bengaluru lost three early wickets too, but the fourth wicket partnership meant an easy win by six wickets with nine balls to spare.

Chennai faced Punjab in their previous game, where Chennai was batting first and struggled initially. Sam Curran finally performed with the bat with a knock of 88 and took the team to a total of 190. Punjab, with their top-order, smashed well, and the first two partnerships were excellent. They faced trouble in the middle but easily crossed the line and won by four wickets.

The M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru has a surface that will work in the batters' favour, particularly during the first innings. In contrast, pacers will have support in the second innings from the bowling front. A respectable score is anticipated to be in the range of 190 to 210. The team that will win the toss will want to bat first and defend the total.
