Pitch Report & Weather Conditions

The blazing temperatures and humidity will be factors to consider for the pitch at the Eden Gardens. The pace and bounce of the wicket is likely to be consistent throughout, but maybe a fraction better for the spinners in the second innings. More than half of the games at this ground have been won by the side batting second. The average first innings total is just below 170 and the highest total chased on the ground is over 260.

Wicketkeeper

Two quality international wicketkeepers will be available. Jos Buttler of Gujarat may be edging the battle though after some of his stellar knocks in the IPL. The English cricketer has seven IPL hundreds and 22 half-centuries. Three of those half-centuries are from this season alone. The South African de Kock has an IPL high score of 140 not out.

Batters

Rahane has two half-centuries this season. Rutherford has a strike rate over 155 in this IPL.

Sunil Narine and Andre Russell will stand head and shoulders above the other all-rounders. Narine has scores of 44 and 30 in his last two batting innings, while also taking three wickets against CSK. Russell’s bowling has impressed with a wicket in each of his innings where he bowled.

Bowlers

The pacers Prasidh Krishna and Harshit Rana have impressed with bucket loads of wickets. Krishna has taken a mighty 11 wickets in his past four fixtures. Rana has eight wickets in his past four innings. Varun Chakravarthy is one of the better spinners available across both lineups. He has four wickets in his past two matches.
