  RCB vs CSK Live: Info on pitch and conditions -

  "It is an absolute pleasure to be here at the iconic venue the Chinnaswamy Stadium for another match. The first thing that I am very pleased about is up above, we have got clear skies and that is a blessing because we have had a lot of rain here in the last couple of days in Bengaluru. We are standing on pitch number 7 which is dead center, so the dimensions are equidistant - 64 meters either side and down the ground is 73 meters, so guys have been powering the ball over the fence here over the years. We have had a couple of varying scores on this pitch, 160 and a 200. This pitch looks very nice and the one thing that stands out - it is a little bit dry than we have seen throughout the tournament. Not much grass cover. There is not going to be as much tennis ball bounce as we have seen throughout the tournament so far that means the ball is going to come on a bit better and the batters can trust the bounce a little bit more. I would be surprised if the team batting first didn't set a high total," said Ian Bishop and Shane Watson.

Everyone is in a good frame of mind and doing their roles, as a captain I am very confident in my boys. Till now many players have performed for the team and that is a good sign. We have 4 games and we will try our best in all the games. Very game is important from now, we are not looking at qualification and we will try our best in all four games.

  RCB vs CSK Live: Pitch seems "tacky"

  "We are looking to bowl first. We want to make the most of the last few games we have got. Try to look into next year and which indivdual will fit into what role. Yes we want to win games but getting the most of the four games is important. It seems tacky, must have been under covers for quite some time and other than that it is a venue where scoring runs is easy. It is a high-scoring venue and after the initial start it will be quite good to bat on," said CSK captain MS Dhoni.
