The pitch at Eden Gardens, Kolkata, will be a batting paradise, with the ball coming onto the bat nicely. The pacey and bouncy nature of the pitch will help the batters hit across the line. As the match progresses, we can expect dew to make its presence felt; thus, the defending team is likely to execute the second new ball rule. However, the batters must be cautious in the first 3-4 overs as the wicket is expected to be a bit tacky. The team that wins the toss will look to field first.
Kolkata's weather is expected to be hot. There are no chances of rainfall on the matchday, and temperatures will hover around 34°C.
The Kolkata Knight Riders have a better chance of winning this match as they are in better form than the Chennai Super Kings.
