Pitch Report: The pitch at Hyderabad is a two-paced one and run-scoring gets difficult as the game progresses. There will be good help for the pacers with the new ball and the spinners will get some purchase off the deck as well. Teams may prefer batting first after winning the toss.
Weather: Some showers are predicted before the game starts. It will be a pretty humid day and the temperature will be around 26–29 degrees Celsius.
Dependable Trio for D3
Herschelle Gibbs (OG — Batter 4) (Hyderabad): Herschelle Gibb’s card is mapped as Batter 4 for Hyderabad and Aiden Markram will most likely walk to bat at 4. He started the tournament with a couple of good knocks but has been below average since then. So, he would be eager to get going again. He enjoys playing spin and Kolkata is filled with spinners. He may bowl a few overs as well.
Andre Russell (Kolkata) [Captain]: Andre Russell might not be at his best with the bat but he is bowling 2–3 overs consistently and has picked up wickets regularly as well. He picked up 3 wickets in the first game against Hyderabad. Russell is a game-changer with the bat and he will be a top pick.
Mayank Markande (Hyderabad): Mayank Markande has been the go-to bowler for Hyderabad. He has been amongst the wickets in almost every game. The two-paced pitch at Hyderabad would be ideal for his bowling, so one can bank on him to return with good numbers in this game.
