Match Intelligence
Real-time conditions factored into our model
Pitch
Flat batting-friendly black-soil surface at Eden Gardens; true bounce with lightning-quick outfield; spinners get middle-over grip but dew from overs 12-14 neutralizes them in second innings; IPL 2026 Eden Gardens averaging 190+ first innings; all 3 completed IPL 2026 matches at this venue chased successfully
Dew Factor
High — heavy Kolkata May dew kicks in from the 12th-14th over of the second innings, making the ball slippery and neutralizing spinners (Varun Chakravarthy, Rashid Khan); chasing teams win approximately 57-58% of IPL matches at Eden Gardens; both captains expected to bowl first
Key Absentees
None confirmed for either side; Matheesha Pathirana (KKR) has missed recent matches but is available; GT expected to be unchanged from Match 56 XI
Pre-match data current as of 2026-05-16; KKR last played 2026-05-13 (lost vs RCB); GT last played 2026-05-12 (beat SRH by 82 runs)
