It is a neck-to-neck record between RCB and PBKS, as both the sides have won 18 games each out of the 36 they played against each other. Check out our in-house head-to-head tool here.

Considering the two teams’ form, it’s going to be a tough contest to decide who’ll come on top. However, RCB will definitely have a lot more fans rooting for them, and that can put them under pressure. That’s why PBKS are going as favourites in this game as there isn’t much to differentiate between the two sides at this stage. 

Virat Kohli has scored the most runs amongst both the sides, and has 614 runs at an average of 55.81 and a strike rate of 146.53 this season. 

Josh Hazlewood is the highest wicket-taker amongst both sides with 21 scalps in 11 games at an average of just 15.80. 

The match will be played on the same pitch where PBKS played their first game of the season against Gujarat and they scored 243/5 with Shreyas Iyer scoring 97*. So you can expect a highly helpful batting surface with chasing getting easier due to dew. 

There is a rain threat over the Final tomorrow, as around 6 PM, there are 51% chances of rain in Ahmedabad as per the weather forecast. The temperature will remain in the mid-30s in Ahmedabad around the start of the game time, with high levels of humidity. While the precipitation chances reduce as the night begins, it still remains between 2-5% in the forecast with high levels of humidity in excess of 60%.
