Kolkata Knight Riders vs Gujarat Titans Pitch and Weather Reports

The Eden Gardens pitch is likely to have a bit of grass, and the surface is expected to be firm. Batters can trust the bounce early on, and with short square boundaries, shot-making will be easy. As the game progresses, the pitch could grip a little, making batting slightly tricky. The dew could influence the second innings. Spinners and pacers will both find some assistance, especially as the pitch slows down. However, the temperature is expected to be around 36°C, and there is no possibility of rain expected to play spoilsport.
