The 47th match of IPL 2024 between Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and Delhi Capitals (DC) will take place at Eden Gardens in Kolkata on Monday, April 29.

Kolkata Knight Riders is coming off a tough loss against Punjab Kings, where they scored 261 runs but conceded 262, allowing Punjab Kings to achieve the highest run-chase in IPL history. This defeat has put KKR in a challenging position, with six games remaining and needing to reach 16 points to secure their spot in the playoffs.

Delhi Capitals, on the other hand, is also facing difficulties, currently in the lower half of the points table and needing victories themselves. After a tough match against Mumbai Indians, DC emerged victorious before heading to Kolkata to face KKR. In their previous encounters, DC lost to MI but won the reverse fixture in Delhi on Saturday.

With this much-anticipated match on the horizon, let’s take a look at how the pitch at Eden Gardens is expected to behave throughout the game.

KKR vs DC: Eden Gardens Stadium Pitch Report

The pitch at Eden Gardens has been the flattest ever in this IPL season. In the last game, Kolkata Knight Riders’ score of 261 was overpowered by Punjab Kings during the chase. There was no seam movement or spin on offer, as evidenced by the last match.

Despite being the home side, Kolkata Knight Riders have been unable to produce tracks that would allow them to dominate other teams at home. If the pitch remains the same as it was for the KKR vs PBKS game, we can expect another high-scoring contest.

While KKR has posted big totals while batting first, their bowling attack has conceded runs on consecutive occasions. Both teams will look to bowl first and take advantage of chasing the score.
