Kolkata captain Shreyas Iyer won the toss and opted to field today. Perhaps because of the bad batting against Chennai in the previous match, Kolkata captain Iyer did not want to take any risk in this match. He is not interested in batting first in this match.
You are right that both Kolkata and LSG have strong batting orders. The Kolkata squad has some excellent batsmen like Phil Salt, Venkatesh Iyer, Shreyas Iyer, Nrine Angkrish and Russel and each is capable of batting at a good strike rate. On the other hand Delhi squad has some excellent batsmen like De Kock, KL Rahul, Deepak hooda, Badoni, Pooran and Stoinis. So without a doubt today's match will be very competitive it can be said.
I think thier previous defeats against one of worst performance team of this season Delhi capital really broke thier momentum because after that defeat they unable to put his team on right track and lose his second consecutive match against Kolkata Knight riders, At first while LSG batting I taught it's gonna be hard fight as they will get his team on track but some awful performance from his top order and collapse of thier middle order put them in dark later pooran done magnificent but unable to make it long as they don't have enough overs left. Anyway Kolkata were quite relaxed while chasing but some Quick collapse make things hard for them later they way salt recovered really nailed it and get a handsome points for his team You are right that both Kolkata and LSG have strong batting orders.
