The Eden Gardens has had no ceiling with runs scored. 200 seems under par with Kolkata failing to defend an unthinkable 260-odd the other night. The Delhi Capitals are also breaching the 200 mark with ease. Jake Fraser McGurk has been hitting it well, and Rishabh Pant is in excellent form. The Capitals are on a roll, with Axar Patel and Kuldeep Yadav finding their zones as well after slow starts to the season.

Axar Patel
Axar Patel, after a silent start is slowly making his way through. With bat, he got a chance up the order and unlocked his own six-hitting ability. With ball, Axar Patel continues to show that his control is really good and he too can make an impact with ball.
Sunil Narine
Sunil Narine’s batting has been a hot topic this season. His bowling, though, has been equally good. On a night where 500+ runs were scored Sunil Narine came in and bowled his four overs at a run-a-ball. His control and mystery have been as good as ever, with Narine showing that good bowlers can still make a mark.

Sunil Narine vs Kuldeep Yadav: Narine loves taking on spin. Kuldeep Yadav though is a spinner with some mystery and reading him could be a challenge for Sunil Narine.
Delhi are coming in with some momentum and will be confident with a young line-up doing well.
