Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) captain Rajat Patidar won the toss and opted to bowl first against Gujarat Titans (GT) at the Chinnaswamy Stadium. Patidar said it would give them a better idea about the pitch, which had no grass covering.

RCB made a forced change: Phil Salt was injured and Jacob Bethell replaced him. Bethell was not part of the bowl-first XI and would come in only in the second innings as Impact Player.

GT made two changes. They brought in Jason Holder for Glenn Phillips and Manav Suthar for Ashok Sharma. This is Holder’s first game for GT.

The game is being played on the centre pitch, with both square boundaries being 61 metres. The straight boundary is 74 metres.
