After losing the first match by seven runs, the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) locked horns against the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) at the Eden Gardens, in Kolkata. The Knight Riders won the match by 81 runs and star India all-rounder Shardul Thakur was awarded the Player of the Match award as he contributed from both bat and ball. He took a brilliant catch as well in the start to dismiss Michael Bracewell. Former India opener, Aakash Chopra made some bold calls on his Youtube channel, before the match.
Chopra believed the Faf du Plessis-led team will win their game against the Nitish Rana-led Kolkata Knight Riders. After beating the five-time champion Mumbai Indians, RCB regained winning momentum. The Mumbai Indians were comfortably demolished by RCB in their season opener. In contrast to KKR, who struggled to make an impression against Punjab Kings in their last game and ultimately lost, RCB seemed to be in terrific form in every regard.
More than 90 runs will be scored in the powerplay overs: Aakash Chopra
“Bangalore will win this match, which means two out of two for Bangalore, and it means two out of two losses for Kolkata. Is that going to happen? I don’t know, we shall find out, but I feel that will happen. My second prediction is that Siraj and Harshal will together pick up three or more wickets. You can add the name of any other fast bowler you want; it will become a total of five wickets. I feel fast bowlers will be more successful than spinners here,” Chopra was quoted as saying on his YouTube channel.
Historically, the batters have been supported by the pitch at Eden Gardens Stadium. In the shortest form of the game, the batters enjoy their time on the pitch and make the most of the shorter boundaries when on the power play. Chopra projected that based on the batting lineups of the two sides, the batters will dominate the first six overs and high scores would be witnessed.
“More than 90 runs will be scored in the powerplay overs. In the first six overs apiece for both sides, even 105 runs might be scored. There will be decent hitting in the initial overs. There will be a little help from the pitch for the fast bowlers, but the ball will come very nicely onto the bat. Russell and Maxwell will together hit five or more sixes. Both like hitting sixes, and this ground is extremely favourable for hitting sixes,” former KKR batter added.
