The hosts will look to return to winning ways after suffering four consecutive losses. The visitors on the other hand have won the last three of their four fixtures and will look to continue the winning momentum. 

BLR head into this game on the back of a humiliating loss against Mumbai at the Wankhede Stadium.

Pitch and Weather Report

The M. Chinnaswamy Stadium is known to have batting friendly pitches with little to no assistance for the bowlers.
