IPL 2024 RR vs RCB Eliminator LIVE UPDATES: Here's what the official pitch report says

 

Ian Bishop and Matthew Hayden in the official pitch report say, "Different pitch to the Qualifier. 61 meters on one side, 68 on the other, and 73 down the ground. Very similar to the pitch yesterday. It's quite dry, extremely firm, and maybe has a bit more grass cover."

 

"Last night was in contrast to what the groundsmen had informed us that there wasn't going to be dew. In my opinion, it dramatically affected the game last night. It's currently 43 degrees. The water in this wicket is something the groundsmen have had to control because of the heat. Last night remember, early up, there was a little bit of seam movement and little bit of swing. Otherwise, this wicket was high-scoring in the group stage," they added.
