IPL 2020, Match 28: RCB vs KKR Pitch report

Sharjah has small boundaries so we may expect a high-scoring match between RCB and KKR. The flat wicket usually favours batsmen but in the last match at the venue, Rajasthan Royals had restricted Delhi Capitals to 184/8 in 20 overs, and Delhi still won the match by 46 runs. A similar score is possible as KKR bowlers have restricted the opposition on a number of occasions.
