KKR vs RR Pitch Report: Eden Gardens To Witness High-Scoring Clash in IPL 2023
Rajasthan Royals Hold Edge with Consistent Performance
The upcoming clash between Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and Rajasthan Royals (RR) at the iconic Eden Gardens promises to be a high-scoring affair. Historically, the pitch has favored batters, with an average first-innings score of over 180 runs.
Recent Matches Highlight Pitch's Favorable Nature
In the recently concluded Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, the pitch witnessed several high-scoring encounters. In the match between Bengal and Saurashtra, Bengal posted a mammoth total of 219/5, while Saurashtra chased down the target with relative ease.
The previous IPL match played at Eden Gardens between KKR and Punjab Kings also saw a flurry of runs. KKR scored a respectable 161/9, but Punjab chased it down with four balls to spare, highlighting the pitch's batting-friendly nature.
Expect Boundaries Galore
The wide boundaries of Eden Gardens make it difficult for bowlers to restrict batters from hitting boundaries. The square boundaries are particularly long, allowing batters to target those areas with ease. This factor is likely to result in a high number of fours and sixes during the KKR vs RR match.
Weather Forecast Suggests No Interruptions
The weather forecast for Kolkata on the day of the match is favorable, with no rain expected. This means that fans can expect a full 20-over contest without any interruptions. The clear skies and warm conditions are also likely to aid the batters and make it easier for them to score runs.
