Pitch Report
“The wicket looks quite dark and it means it could play a little bit slower. There was quite a lot more spin in the last game compared to the games that were played before in this venue. It’s just not spin but the seamers will have a role to play. Toss might not prove to be a big factor today,” reckons Kevin Pietersen on Star Sports
18:40 hrs IST
Things to worry about
* 17: Gill’s average vs RCB, his worst against any team in IPL
* 37: Chahal’s average vs KKR, his worst against any current opponent in IPL.

RCB pacer Chris Morris speaks ahead of the game
“I have got butterflies flying around in my stomach. I get nervous before every game, but playing for a new franchise, you want to do well. Happy to be contributing in any way possible, really enjoying myself at RCB so far. It’s our first game here (Sharjah), we watched quite a few exciting games. We just need to stick to our basics today and stick in as long as we can till the end of the game, hopefully we can come out on top today. It’s going to be a big challenge today because KKR are hitting a bit of form too, so we have to be good,” said Chris Morris.

KKR’s Statement on Sunil Narine
“Mr. Sunil Narine was reported for suspect action by the match officials after KKR’s match vs KXIP held on Oct 10, 2020 in Abu Dhabi.
This came as a surprise to the franchise and Mr. Narine, considering he has played over 115 games in the IPL since 2012 and as many as 68 games since 2015, when he was last reported during the IPL season for a suspect action before being subsequently cleared completely by SRASSC, an ICC accredited facility.
Furthermore, he was playing his 6th game this season, with no concerns expressed formally or informally by the match officials so far.
Having said this, we are respectful of the process that the IPL has put in place to have his action reviewed, and are working closely with the IPL in this matter. We are hopeful that there would be an appropriate resolution quickly. We appreciate the cooperation being extended by the IPL in expediting this matter.”
