KKR vs GT LIVE Cricket Score: Pitch report by Eoin Morgan

"What we see here is very, very Eden Gardens-like. We have a look down at this surface and there's a magnificent covering of grass particularly as we move down towards the good length and short of a length. That means that the ball will show really consistent bounce and pace. Remember, we've seen a bit if swing around here at the Eden Gardens, particularly in those first overs of the powerplay. The likes of Vaibhav Arora has been a great exponent and I'm sure we'll see that early on. Normally at Eden Gardens, if you don't see a even covering of grass, you might see a hint of turn. I don't think it'll turn a great deal tonight. It's going to be a challenge for the spinners and it's going to be a high run-scoring game but the ball will swing around. Early wickets is the key for the Kolkata Knight Riders, utilise that swing for as long as possible. The likes of Harshit Rana, Vaibhav Arora - pitch it up, swing it like you did against SRH. The advantage GT have had is that the top three have batted through that powerplay and taken confidence into the middle-order which has allowed them to be more aggressive than normal. If they are pushed back and they lose early wickets, then it's going to be a completely different challenge for GT and the middle-order."
