RCB vs GT Pitch Report

Deep Dasgupta and Eoin Morgan analyze a high-scoring venue with small dimensions (61m sides, 74m straight). The pitch is flat, grassless, and batting-friendly. Key seamers like Siraj, Rabada, Hazlewood, and Bhuvi will target top orders early. RCB excels in middle-over sixes. Expect 200+ totals; chasing preferred but big first-innings scores competitive.
