Match Intelligence
Real-time conditions factored into our model
Pitch
Flat, true bounce — strong batting surface. Pace has early swing benefit (proximity to Hooghly River), spinners assist in middle overs. Average first-innings score ~171–182 historically, but recent T20s here trend 200+. Both pace and spin viable but pitch heavily favours batters.
Dew Factor
High. April evening humidity 85%, temperature ~26°C at match time. Heavy dew expected by overs 10–12 of second innings, making spinners significantly harder to grip. Chasing teams win 57% of IPL games at Eden Gardens — strong dew-driven advantage.
Key Absentees
KKR: Harshit Rana (knee surgery, season-long), Akash Deep (lower-back stress fracture), Matheesha Pathirana (calf strain, mid-April return), Cameron Green (batting only, no bowling). SRH: Pat Cummins (lower-back injury), Brydon Carse (hand injury), Jack Edwards (injured).
2026-04-02: Both teams have played 1 match each in IPL 2026. Squad and injury data sourced from match-day reports April 2, 2026.
