India Premier League, 2021, ELIMINATOR, and the match is going to be played between BANGALORE & KOLKATA and the match is all set to take place at SHARJAH CRICKET GROUND.

Preview

Bangalore who has been struggling for the win in India, however, their player were in excellent form but they also failed to win matches, they have lost three consecutive matches in Indian also lost 2 matches in Dubai. But their current form is quite impressive where Maxwell is doing a great job for the team also some middle-order batters like S Bharat who have been performing brilliantly in the series he also has the ability to win matches from anywhere as we already have seen in the previous matches the was against Delhi Capitals where he smashed the straight-six over the fielder and won the match for the team, also they need some good performances from the opener V Kohli and D Padikkal someone from both need to stay for a long time in the pitch to set some momentum for the middle order batter to perform well accordingly for the team.

On the other hand, Kolkata who have been very good in Dubai, where much of the teams were struggling but Kolkata was availe to win over table-toppers in the second leg, the team’s absolute brilliant strategy & all-round performance in the non-existence of Andre Russell deserves to play in the playoffs, however, Andre Russell must be playing for today’s match if completely fit and he will be replacing Sakib Al Hassan and for the Eliminator match today.

Pitch Report – BLR vs KOL

The pitch’s absolute assistance for bowlers makes it very hard for batters to play shots in the power play the pitch has enough bounce and turn that might decrease the power play run rate in Sharjah, however, boundaries are still as same as it before the second leg of IPL-2021 in Dubai but it has some extra assist for bowlers, but you won’t be surprised that the both of the teams are capable of facing hard pitch for batters and proved to score 155, 166, 170 and also capable of defending it as well.
