Weather Conditions and Pitch Report

The Eden Gardens pitch has been unpredictable this season, leaving Kolkata Knight Riders uncertain about its nature. It could favor spin, as seen in their match against Hyderabad, where spinners like Varun Chakravarthy and Sunil Narine thrived. Alternatively, it might resemble the surface from their clash against Lucknow Super Giants, where spin proved ineffective. Gujarat Titans, with Rashid Khan and Sai Kishore (if he gets to bowl enough overs) in their arsenal, might prefer a spin-friendly wicket. If not, expect a flat pitch that supports batters and pacers, leading to high-scoring encounters.

The weather in Kolkata for the match is expected to be warm and humid during the day, with temperatures reaching up to 37°C. By the evening, when the game begins, the temperature will drop to a more comfortable 28°C. The skies are predicted to be clear, with a gentle breeze providing relief. Importantly, there is no forecast of rain, ensuring uninterrupted play.

Toss Prediction

With this being one of the finest batting strips in the IPL, expect the team winning the toss to chase as having a target set while batting helps a lot with clarity of thought.
