Top IPL teams Kolkata Knight Riders and Rajasthan Royals lock horns in a high-stakes clash tonight (April 16th) at 7:30 PM IST at Eden Gardens.
KKR boasts a dynamic lineup with Narine and Salt at the top, while RR seeks to bounce back after a recent loss.
The Toss
At Eden Gardens, the toss is crucial! The winner might choose to bowl first to negate dew in the second innings. Additionally, early assessment of the pitch's spin potential could influence chasing decisions.
The Pitch
In the first match of IPL 2024 that took place at Eden Gardens, runs galore as Heinrich Klaasen nearly took Hyderabad home against the hosts. However, to once again expect a similar wicket, that too in a day game would not be right. A lot of spin would be on offer this time around as Knight Riders boast three quality spinners.
The Weather
KKR vs RR match on Tuesday night is expected to be rain-free with only 6% chance of rain, but high humidity at 70% might lead to dew, affecting game conditions. Early weather reports suggest temperatures around 29 degrees Celsius with wind speeds of 17 kilometers per hour.
