Toss Prediction
In all three games at this venue, big runs have been scored in the first innings. But chasing has been difficult as a touch of slowness creeps in in the second innings. Therefore, batting first after winning the toss would be a good option.
Probable Best Batter
Shubman Gill used to play for KKR two seasons ago. He must be aware of how the pitch behaves. So, he could end up as the top batter in the contest.
Probable Best Bowler
A bit of slowness is expected in the pitch. Someone like Sunil Narine would make the most of such conditions. The Caribbean spinner is the one to watch out for.
