. The toss will be held at 7 pm and the match will begin at 7:30 pm.

. The surface at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad usually favours the batters but also offers some assistance to bowlers. While batters can trust the bounce and play their shots, pacers are known to extract early movement and spinners could find some assistance as the match goes on.

. RCB has a slight edge of 4-3 against GT. They have also won the only match the two teams faced off in Ahmedabad.

. Kohli has scored 432 runs in seven innings with an average of 86 and a strike rate of 149. He also has a century to go with four half-centuries against them.

. "As far as preparation is concerned, I can definitely tell you that we make sure that they are well prepared. We have those facilities here where we can do our open nets and stuff like we had that session yesterday with our lower middle order or our middle order. So we try and give them as much (time) as possible. We have full faith in them and we are making sure that they are ready for the important games and hopefully if the situation comes around, they should be able to deliver," Patel said.

. "Obviously things came together so quickly and so well that the game was over in the blink of an eye. So it was great to watch those two great bowlers bowl, Bhuvneshwar and Hazlewood, and then obviously we had an easy small chase so the game was over quite quickly. And I think, to be honest, you've got to treat the wins and losses with a fair degree of equanimity because with losses you don't want to get too down and the same principles apply to wins. So I don't think it's a huge challenge, to be honest," Flower said.

. Shubman Gill opts to bowl first.

. "We are going to bowl first. The surface gives swing in the first 4-5 overs. Want to chase in case there is dew. These two games will determine how far we go in the tournament. They are playing some good cricket, they are the defending champions. The mood is nice and light. It's about having the right attitude. Same team as the last game," Gill said at the toss.

. "We were looking to field first. I don't think the grass cover will help much. Hope we put up a good total on the board. The way we played the first half of IPL, that was good to see. It's a positive sign for us, we are looking forward to it. We're playing with the same team," Patidar said.
