For CSK, lead pacer Matheesha Pathirana of Sri Lanka, was missing from the first game against Mumbai Indians due to injury and may not be available for the second match against RCB as well due to injury although coach Stephen Fleming assured that he has been ‘progressing well’.
RCB, too, missed the services of star pacer Bhuvneshwar Kumar due to an unspecified injury. Assistant coach Dinesh Karthik informed that Bhuvi had bowled a couple of days before the match against CSK and felt ‘good’ but his inclusion will be at the last minute on match day.
