The Barsapara Cricket Stadium is known for favoring batsmen in T20 matches, making it a batting friendly. Teams often choose to bat first and set big scores. In the previous IPL season, both matches played at this ground were won by teams batting first. As the stadium hosts its first match of the season, especially for RR as their second home ground, teams are likely to opt for batting first to take advantage of the favorable conditions.
The weather forecast for May 15 indicates no rainfall in the evening, but the humidity is expected to be around 77 percent. This high humidity suggests that dew could play a significant role in the second half of the game. Dew can make the ball slippery and difficult to grip for bowlers, which may affect the outcome of the match, especially for the team fielding second.
