Pitch Report: Eden is typically a good venue for batters but there’s usually some help for bowlers, especially pacers, as well. The same can be expected for this game as well. Bank heavily on batters but pick dependable bowlers as well.
Weather: The temperature will be around 28 degrees Celsius. The forecast is cloudy with very minimal chances of rain. Humidity will be on the higher side too.
Dependable Trio for D3
Nitish Rana (Kolkata): Nitish is in top form. Scoring big runs at a quick rate and leading his side from the front. He looked in sublime touch in the last game against Punjab at Eden and he would eye to continue his good form in this game.
Andre Russell (Kolkata) [Captain]: Russell once again showed how important a player he is for Kolkata with his heroic cameo against Punjab. He will be vital for them in this match as well, not only with the bat but he would bowl a few overs as well. His all-round abilities usually fetch him a lot of points, so will be our captain pick.
Trent Boult (Rajasthan): There will be a bit of swing on offer with the new ball at Eden and who better than Boult to exploit those conditions? He could get those couple of early wickets and then come back to bowl at the death, hence is a safe pick.
