DY Patil Stadium last match

In the last match at this stadium, Royal Challengers Bangalore set a new record for the highest total in IPL matches at the venue, while Punjab Kings broke the record for the highest successful run-chase on this ground.

Batters from both IPL teams enjoyed themselves in the middle, but only RCB's Faf du Plessis managed to score a half-century. The DY Patil Stadium boundary length is not the biggest as the RCB and PBKS batters smashed a total of 27 sixes in 39 overs.

Seven wickets fell in that contest, with only two going into the spinners' accounts. It should not be a surprise if the match between KKR and RCB is another nightmare for the bowlers.
