For the fourth evening in a row, and 24 hours ahead of the game, Eden Gardens was covered in white tarp, with rain and winds lashing across the stadium. It has now affected three practice sessions and washed out one fixture. It has also given Kolkata Knight Riders their only point so far. Lucknow Super Giants conceded the advantage against Delhi Capitals but got on the board against Sunrisers Hyderabad, even if the win wasn’t commanding. They would take pride in how their pacers aced the Powerplay, and would have keenly followed how KKR’s top order looked under pressure in their brief period of play against PBKS.
