In the 36th match of IPL 2023, Royal Challengers Bangalore will clash with Kolkata Knight Riders. Bangalore’s team is in excellent form, and in the last match, RCB beat Rajasthan Royals by 7 runs. At the same time, KKR has yet to see the face of victory for four consecutive matches.
Everything has gone right for RCB in IPL 2023 so far. While Virat Kohli and Faf Du Plessis are scoring runs with the bat, Glenn Maxwell has also been seen thrashing the bowlers this season. In bowling, Mohammad Siraj has wreaked havoc on the batters and has taken 13 wickets in 7 matches.
On the other hand, KKR is in bad condition. Venkatesh Iyer and other batters in the team have consistently failed to score runs. At the same time, even in bowling, bowlers like Umesh Yadav and Sunil Narine have been unable to perform according to their names.
This ground in Bangalore is no less than a paradise for batters. Batters have fun on the pitch; along with this, the small boundary hurts the bowlers even more. Chennai Super Kings scored the second-highest score of IPL 2023 on this ground.
One hundred three matches have been played in the IPL so far at the Chinnaswamy ground in Bangalore, out of which the team batting first has won 47 matches. And the team chasing the ground in 54 matches has won. However, in the last two matches of IPL 2023, the team batting first won.
Regarding the weather here today, today’s match can stop for some time because there is a forecast for rain here. The match will likely be interrupted due to rain.
The match will be held in the evening, and there will be a lot of humidity which can bother the bowlers and fielders of the bowling team later. During the day, the clouds would hardly allow the sunlight to reach the ground. In such a situation, today, the maximum temperature in Bengaluru can go up to 32 degrees centigrade, while the minimum temperature is expected to remain 21 degrees centigrade.
