Both the teams are coming off a victory in their last game. Kolkata beat Bangalore as Chennai beat Delhi.
Kolkata Knight Riders:
Nitish Rana had a little injury scare in the last game. If he sits out, then it's not sure who will come in to replace him. Other than that, the rest of team is expected to stay the same from the last game.

Chennai Super Kings:
They made a few changes in the last game.
They brought in Lungi Ngidi, KM Asif, and Faf DuPlesis. Though the changes paid off well, it is unlikely that they will make one or two changes before this match. They might actually go in with a team with fast bowlers depending on the nature of the wicket at Eden Gardens.
Pitch: The Eden pitch, has offered good bounce and swing for the seamers and will continue to do that. Runs will come nicely as the outfield and the pitch both will support.
