Faf du Plessis, the skipper of Bangalore says they are going to bowl first, just following the trend, and the pitch looks different today. Mentions that the last game was very pleasing for them, it gives them a lot of confidence as a team even after not performing at their best. Informs that they are playing with the same team.

Rajasthan (Unchanged playing XI) - Jos Buttler, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Devdutt Padikkal, Sanju Samson (C/WK), Shimron Hetmyer, Riyan Parag, Ravichandran Ashwin, Navdeep Saini, Trent Boult, Yuzvendra Chahal, Prasidh Krishna.

Bangalore (Unchanged playing XI) - Faf du Plessis (C), Anuj Rawat, Virat Kohli, Dinesh Karthik (WK), Sherfane Rutherford, Shahbaz Ahmed, Wanindu Hasaranga, David Willey, Harshal Patel, Mohammed Siraj, Akash Deep.

TOSS - Bangalore have won the toss and they have elected to BOWL first!

PITCH REPORT - Matthew Hayden is down near pitch. He says the wicket has less grass this time, it is very very hard this time and this isn't something we have seen so far. Says that the batters are in a little bit of a treat today and a high score is expected.

We have seen how crucial the toss had been in this edition of the Indian T20 League. Dew has played a big factor at Wankhede and the teams chasing here have won all three matches. Both the teams are in super form at the moment. Who do you think will win here? We will find out! Stay tuned for the toss and other updates.

Few players will play against their former team. The likes of Yuzvendra Chahal, Devdutt Padikkal, and Navdeep Saini who were part of Bangalore in the previous season will wear a different colour jersey this season. Chahal has already made his mark while Saini and Devdutt Padikkal are yet to display their true potential. It will be a bit emotional for them but in the end, two points are what matter the most. Bangalore will be hoping Glenn Maxwell returns to their playing XI, if he does it will only make their batting stronger. While Rajasthan will want to stick to their plans and continue to perform the same way. They will aim to remain unbeaten.

Hello and a warm welcome to the coverage of match number 13 where Rajasthan will face Bangalore. Rajasthan are riding high on confidence with two impressive wins while Bangalore showed a much-improved performance to open their account. It will be interesting to see which team comes out on top today.

... MATCH DAY ...
