Average 1st Innings Score: 154 runs
Win % Batting 1st: 48%
Win % Batting 2nd: 52%
Pitch Report: Eden has been an excellent venue for batting and there is usually enough for both pacers and spinners as well if they struck the right lengths. Since it is a night game, batting will get easier in the second innings, so teams will prefer chasing.
Weather: The temperature will be around 30 degrees Celsius. There are some chances of rain as clouds will be looming high. It will be pretty humid as well.

Nitish Rana (Kolkata): The Kolkata captain played a vital knock in the last game against Hyderabad and has been in good touch in earlier matches as well. Punjab’s bowlers have struggled in the middle phase and Rana could make the most of that middle phase.
Liam Livingstone (Punjab): The way Livingstone struck the ball in the last match was enough evidence of what we could expect in the upcoming games from him. He made unbeaten 82 off 42 balls and will try to repeat it against Kolkata in the Eden. The wicket will be good for batters too.
Andre Russell (Kolkata) [Captain]: Andre Russell hit a few mighty blows in the last match but has overall failed to score big this season. However, it seems a big inning from him is around the corner. Since he is also bowling a few overs and picking wickets, he could be a good captain pick.
