RR vs RCB: Pitch report

The pitch at the Wankhede Stadium is more equipped to assist pacers than the spinners due to the bouncy nature of the surface. Fast bowlers have grabbed the majority of the total wickets in the last 20 matches played on the ground. Fast bowlers picked 153 wickets in IPL 2019, the last edition to be fully played in India, compared to 37 wickets for spinners. The stadium's red soil has historically aided teams batting second. The dew factor also comes into play for teams defending a total as they find it difficult to grip the ball and be effective.
