This time, the Kolkata Knight Riders team will host Punjab Kings. This match is important for both teams because even though the KKR team is currently in the top 4, it will still have to win a few more matches to secure its place in the playoffs.

Both of them have scored runs at the rate of about 12 runs per over this season and have been the third fastest run-scoring pair. Thanks to Narine and Salt, KKR have scored around 11 runs per over in the powerplay and have been the second-fastest run-scoring team. Salt has scored runs strike rate of 176 against fast bowlers and 138 against spinners. Andre Russell has scored 408 runs against PBKS at a strike rate of 200. This is their high strike rate against any team in the IPL. Russell has hit 79 sixes so far at Eden Gardens and he is the batsman who has hit the most sixes on this ground.

It will be very important for PBKS to stop Russell and Harshal Patel should be used for this job.

Apart from Harshal, Sam Curran has also dismissed Russell three times in nine innings, but Russestrike rate against him is 221.4.

KKR vs PBKS Pitch And Weather Report

In all the matches that have taken place so far in Eden Gardens, Kolkata, we have seen big scores. Something similar can happen in the next match also. Although there is bounce on the wicket, in such a situation where the ball hits the bat well, the bowlers also have a chance to take wickets. But in the second innings, the spinners may be able to show their magic. The ground is somewhat big, so a player can get caught out even on the boundary. The batsmen will have to keep this in mind.
