Bengaluru squared off against Rajasthan in their previous match, where Rajasthan was batting first. They started off quite slow, and it took them some time to take off, but a knock of 75 from Jaiswal led them to a total of 173. It did not seem like an even contest when the Bengaluru side came to bat. Losing just one wicket and with 15 balls to spare, Bengaluru had easily pocketed the game.

Punjab played against Kolkata in their previous game, where, batting first, Punjab had a fall-out and their batters just kept losing their wickets. A good start by the openers was lost by the middle order as they were bundled for just 111. What seemed like an easy victory turned out to be a nightmare for KKR as they lost the game by 16 runs from a commanding position.

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.
