Bengaluru is a venue where batters thrive with not much help for bowlers. Pitches here are usually flat and quick outfield helps the shot-making further. The average batting first score here was 152 in the previous edition of the WPL. Chasing is the better option here, with seven out of 11 WPL games being won by the team batting second.
The weather is expected to be mainly clear with no threat of rain. The temperature should be around 22 degree Celsius.
