Royal Challengers Bangalore (Team News)
Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) are expected to bring back Glenn Maxwell to replace Will Jacks, who left for England. Rajat Patidar is likely to replace Yash Dayal or Swapnil Singh as impact substitutes once again.
They have relied heavily on their top three, but their center will have to hold their own in the decider. RCB have been hit hard by the return of their reported English players, however, their bench appears to have good talent. The home crowd will be behind them and will play as the 12th man, which will help increase their chances of winning.
Chennai Super Kings (team news)
Chennai Super Kings: Moeen Ali is gone so Mitchell Santner is expected to join the Chennai Super Kings playing XI. Ruturaj Gaikwad will resume opening alongside Rachin Ravindra, with Ajinkya Rahane dropping to the No. 3 spot.
In the previous game, Daryl Mitchell was substituted during the chase to bring in Sameer Rizvi at number 7. Given Rahane’s recent poor form and Moeen’s absence, it will be interesting to see CSK’s batting line-up for this big game.

Launch Report: Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru
The Chinnaswamy Stadium pitches have traditionally been high-scoring. But the big threat tomorrow is rain. A start-stop match is expected and bad weather is forecast during the match.
There is a forecast of 80% rain expected to hit Bengaluru around the kick-off time of the match. Aeration of the stadium’s subsoil should facilitate a rapid resumption.
The six games here have been split in half between batting first and chasing wins. It will be interesting to see what the captain does in the toss if he wins.
The average first-inning score at the venue this season is 193. The center field, which will be used for this game, had no grass the day before the game, so it is likely to be a high-scoring affair.
