Pitch Report | Anjum Chopra: Both the sides have played on this surface, if you look at the pitch the colour is a lot browner. Even the grass on the surface doesn’t indicate any damage it can cause to the batters. For the bowlers, it would pose a challenge. One side is slightly shorter than the other, so that should be taken in to the consideration, especially for the spinners. The colour of the surface overall indicates that it’s going to be more of a batter’s night than a bowler’s.
Our correspondent, Aayush Puthran, pinged from the venue a while back - Shabnim Ismail had already started warming up, bowling on the side pitch. Should return to the side today
18:30 Local Time, 13:00 GMT: A Saturday blockbuster awaits us RCB Women gear up to face MI Women at the Chinnaswamy Stadium.

Smriti Mandhana scored a blistering fifty but got minimal support from the others. They eventually perished under the scoreboard pressure. MIW, on the other hand, began their campaign with a couple of wins too. But, they were outplayed in their previous encounter by the UP Warriorz and were handed their first loss. T20 is a dynamic format where momentum matters a lot and both sides will be hungy to bounce back. Stick around as the toss and team lineups will be announced shortly...
