IPL 2020: Dubai International Stadium pitch report ahead of CSK vs RCB

After a 59-run defeat against the Delhi Capitals, the Royal Challengers Bangalore will look to get back to winning ways when they cross paths with the Chennai Super Kings in their next game of IPL 2020.

CSK and RCB have been a part of many dramatic encounters in the IPL. The last time when these two teams battled each other, RCB edged CSK by one run.

MS Dhoni and co. will aim to develop some consistency in IPL 2020 because they have won only two of their first six games. Their performances against MI and KXIP were excellent, but they struggled to dominate the other teams. On the other hand, RCB too have not been comfortable while chasing a target this year.

Since CSK won their last game in Dubai by ten wickets, they will be optimistic heading into their match against RCB. Here's a look at the pitch report and weather conditions for match number 25 of IPL 2020.
