PITCH REPORT

RCB vs RR match to be played on a used pitch There are few patches where the ball has landed in previous game here. Though pitch looks good, but there might be some help for the bowlers. The straight boundaries are 79 metre long. If Morris is fit, you should get him in as there's one short boundary, says Ajit Agarkar . The pitch might be on the slower side - the par score will be around 160, adds Deep Dasgupta during pitch report for broadcasters.
