KKR vs LSG Pitch report for Eden Gardens, Kolkata – IPL 2025

The last match at Eden Gardens had a typical pitch – a bit slow but still good for batting. Since KKR won that game easily, we can expect a similar surface this time too. Batters will have to be patient because the ball might not come onto the bat quickly.

Spinners will play an important role, so scoring well in the powerplay will be key. The average first innings score at this ground is around 167, but if the pitch is slow again, both teams will look to score between 180 to 190 runs to feel safe.
