KKR vs SRH Eden Gardens, Pitch Report
The team that wins the toss will look to bowl first, taking into account the decisive role that dew might play in the second innings
The Kolkata vs Hyderabad match will be the second game of IPL 2025 at the Eden Gardens. If we talk about the behaviour of the pitch at this venue, the 22 yards used at Eden Gardens is known to be a good batting wicket, which also has something in it for the bowlers.
The team batting first looks to post a score of 190-200 on the board, as it is not an easy ground to defend a total.
Batters can trust the bounce of the pitch and can play fearlessly. A run-fest can be anticipated in Kolkata with batters from both sides targeting the short boundaries.
Having said that, the fast bowler as well as the spinners can extract some help from the pitch while bowling in the first six overs, and players like Mohammed Shami, Harshit Rana, and Varun Chakravarthy would like to make full use of that
Out of the 94 IPL games that Eden Gardens has hosted so far, 56 games have been won by the chasing team, while the team batting first has won 38 games.
The KKR vs SRH match will feature some hard hitters of a cricket ball like Travis Head, Abhishek Sharma, Quinton de Kock, and Andre Russell, along with experienced fast bowlers like Mohammed Shami and Pat Cummins.
Conclusion
KKR would like to win their first home game of the season by defeating SRH in the Kolkata vs Hyderabad clash, and will hope for the captain, Ajinkya Rahane, to put on a strong show as a batter and as the captain of the side.
Whereas SRH would like to get back to winning ways after falling short in the last two league games and stake their claim of going all the way and lifting another title
