Today's RCB vs GT pitch report

“The wicket looks pretty dry. However, there could be good bounce. It's well covered with grass and the pitch looks firm, so the ball should come on nicely. Toss doesn't really play a role here. 197 is the average first-innings total, so expect something similar.” - Matthew Hayden
