Pitch report
According to Danny Morrison and Matthew Hayden, who work for the broadcaster, the pitch is a bit grassy with a slow bounce. Fats bowlers could pick up wickets and weather is also hot with a breeze coming in. Spinners also take plenty of wickets in this venue and could be on top tonight too! A tough time for batsmen today!

One to watch: Andre Russell
The West Indies all-rounder was in fantastic form during KKR’s win vs RCB. He took three wickets in three overs and only conceded nine runs. He accounted for the important dismissal of AB de Villiers and took the wickets of Srikar Bharat and Mohammed Siraj.
He will be crucial to KKR’s performance tonight!
