RCB vs PBKS: Narendra Modi Stadium, Pitch Report
The surface for the big final is the centre wicket, as confirmed by the pitch curator. It's a mixed soil wicket with even bounce and is a good surface to bat on. Bowlers will need to work hard and be smart to pick up wickets. Expect a high-scoring encounter, as the pitch offers little assistance to bowlers. If there's no rain interruption, the surface is expected to play the same. Dew may come into play if the skies are clear. This makes the toss crucial, the team that wins it would likely prefer to bowl first. The average first-innings total at the Narendra Modi Stadium in IPL 2025 is 197.
