Kolkata met Rajasthan in their last match, where Kolkata was batting first, and they had a good day with the bat. Russell looked back in his usual great touch and scored a fifty, which took the team to a total of 206. Rajasthan lost too many early wickets, and the match felt done, but it took a skipper’s knock to pull them back in the game. However, they lost by a bare margin of 1 run in the end. 

In the last game, Chennai fought against Bengaluru, where Bethell and Kohli started brilliantly with the bat. Batters looked scratchy in the middle over,but insane bashing from Shepherd put them in a strong position. Chasing 214, Chennai started well and were maintaining a good run-rate. Somehow, they managed to mess it up towards the end and ended up losing the game by 2 runs.

It is anticipated that the Eden Gardens field will be dry, which would benefit spinners like Varun Chakravarthy and Sunil Narine of KKR. The pitch may also slow down with little watering. In the past, Eden Gardens has been a batting-friendly location. Approximately 160 to 180 runs might be scored on the field in the first innings.
