Pitch & Weather Report

Eden Gardens has been very batting-friendly in the last few years. In the last season, four out of seven matches played at the venue crossed the 200 mark. The KKR vs LSG game of this season was an average scoring game but it was due to KKR's solid bowling that LSG couldn't score big. The KKR vs RR is expected to be something different and the pitch will favour the batters completely this time. The dew will play a part as this is going to be an evening game.
