Match Details KKR vs GT Match Details Venue Eden Gardens, Kolkata Date and Time 21 April, 7:30 PM IST Live Broadcast Details Star Sports Live Streaming Details JioHotstar (app and website) Pitch Report The surface at Eden Gardens has always favoured the bowlers with pace and bounce. The average first innings score at this surface is 199 (till last year), this shows it will be a batting-friendly track where teams batting first will have an advantage over teams fielding first. It is worth mentioning that dew also plays a crucial role as a deciding factor at this venue. With the dew in the second innings, it becomes hard for the bowlers to grip the ball and bowl at an ideal length.
