Launch report: “Today we do not play in the center field and that means that one side will be relatively short (at 66m). The other side will have huge limits (at 85m). The dimensions are very misleading with the straight limits also There is a strong breeze , the field looks really good, this is just the second day game in Dubai, not much for the closers, but with the dimensions of the ground, the spinners are going to be the key, according to Danny Morrison and JP Duminy.
Bangalore Camp is Ready!

Players from both teams are in the middle, warming up before the crucial match. Just under 30 minutes to launch.

After suffering an 8-wicket loss to RCB in their previous encounter, now is the time for the Royals to set the score and move up the points table.
