Kolkata will hope that Jagdishan shows the same kind of game as he showed in Vijay Hazare Trophy and rained runs. Kolkata’s batting is not very strong anyway and Jagdishan will be expected to improve the team’s batting.

Kolkata must win
Kolkata’s bowling is very strong. He proved this in the last match against Royal Challengers Bangalore. But Kolkata’s batting is weak. In such a situation, this match will not be easy for him and victory will also be there. Kolkata desperately needs a win so that its confidence remains.
