The pitch is great for batting with a good bounce for bowlers. Toss will be crucial; team winning the toss should bowl first keeping in mind the weather forecast.

Kolkata Knight Riders

Team news:

Everything is coming back to its feet for Kolkata now as they win 2 straight games in a row. They should not think too much now for further team changes as the team is now settling and gaining momentum.

Key players:

The trio of spinners – Piyush Chawla, Kuldeep Yadav and Sunil Narine will be the key to shorten the Gayle Storm who has already poured heavy showers on teams coming in his way. Watch out for Robin Uthappa who is now getting back into his old form..
