The pitch at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata is a good batting deck, with the ball coming nicely onto the bat, ensuring another contest run-fest. However, the new ball will offer some swing early on, so batters must be wary of it. As the match progresses, the pitch will become even better to bat on, as there are chances of dew coming in later. The team that wins the toss will look to bowl first.
The weather in Kolkata will be pleasant. The temperatures will hover around 29°C. There are no chances of rain in this game.
The Kolkata Knight Riders have a better head-to-head record against the Sunrisers Hyderabad. Both teams have good batting lineups; however, it's the bowling department where KKR pips SRH & hence KKR, due to better bowling resources & a better record against the Orange army, has a better chance to win this game.
