Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, Hyderabad Pitch Report

"We are on pitch number 2, this is the same surface that was used against Mumbai Indians where that initial score of 277 was made. Dimensions - 63m and 66m square, down the ground - a 76m hit. Certainly think that we can see 300 here tonight because the way SRH have been playing, they are going out all guns blazing," Samuel Badree and Simon Katich said ahead of the SRH vs RCB match - the last match at the venue.

"When you look at this pitch, it's absolutely rock hard and it's got a little bit of roughness to it, but it looks like a dry creek bed, so it should come onto the bat beautifully. In the match against Mumbai, there were 38 sixes hit, so expect that tonight. These two teams are power-packed," they added.

In the match, RCB scored 206/7 after opting to bat first. Six wickets were taken by the SRH pacers. In reply, SRH were restricted to 171/8 in 20 overs. RCB pacers picked three wickets, while spinners chipped in with five wickets.

The average score in the last five T20s is 203. The team winning the toss has opted to bat first 61 percent of the time in the last five years.
