In the My11Circle fantasy format, balanced team selection with strong all-rounders and in-form top-order batters is key. For this fixture, players like Andre Russell and Mitchell Marsh become top picks due to their ability to contribute in both departments. Ajinkya Rahane can be a solid captaincy option based on his consistency and anchor role. From LSG, Nicholas Pooran and Aiden Markram bring explosive hitting and experience in the middle order. In the bowling unit, Varun Chakravarthy and Shardul Thakur are likely to return key fantasy points due to their wicket-taking ability. A strategy that blends firepower with flexibility will give fantasy users the edge in this match.

Eden Gardens offers a high-scoring surface, especially in day matches. The pitch is typically flat with consistent bounce, making it ideal for batters to play their shots. Early in the innings, fast bowlers may get some movement, but overall, it’s a batting paradise.
Teams winning the toss often choose to bowl first, considering the dew factor and chasing advantage. A total above 190 could be challenging to defend unless spinners exploit the slowing surface during middle overs.
The weather forecast for Kolkata on match day shows warm and humid conditions, with temperatures ranging between 27°C to 35°C. There’s minimal cloud cover expected and almost no chance of rain, meaning we can expect a full 20-over-a-side match.
