Team Preview
Bangalore has displayed a mixed bag of performances this season. However, they’ve managed to string together two consecutive wins, the most recent being a victory against a formidable Rajasthan side. Despite their 81-run win against Bangalore at Eden Gardens, Kolkata is currently on a four-match losing streak. The absence of regular skipper S. Iyer has hampered team chemistry, leaving them at the bottom half of the table.
In-form star batsman J. Roy suffered a niggle in the last match and could be rested against Bangalore. R. Gurbaz is expected to replace him in the team.

Bangalore:
Bangalore’s success will depend on the performances of skipper V. Kohli (279 runs), who can anchor the innings, the Orange Cap holder F. du Plessis (405 runs), and the wicket-taking ability of M. Siraj (13 wickets).
