KKR vs GT Match 60 Weather Report (16 May, Kolkata)

Weather Parameter	Details
Match-Time Temperature	~29–34°C at 7:30 PM IST; hot and sultry Kolkata May evening
Humidity	Very high (~70–89%); proximity to the Hooghly River makes Kolkata one of the most humid IPL venues in May
Wind Speed	Light to moderate breeze, 16–18 km/h with gusts; slight early assistance for seamers with the new ball
Rain Probability	Less than 5% — no significant interruption expected; clear skies forecast for match time
Dew Factor	Heavy — arrives from the 12th to 14th over onwards; ball becomes wet and ungrippable for spinners under lights; makes chasing significantly easier in the 2nd innings

Pitch Report – Eden Gardens, Kolkata

Pitch Parameter	Details
Pitch Type	Flat and batting-friendly; true bounce with a rapid outfield; shorter square boundaries make six-hitting routine for power-hitters on both sides
Avg 1st Innings Score (IPL 2026)	187–195 runs; Eden Gardens has produced consistently high-scoring IPL 2026 encounters with batters dominating on the true surface
Toss Decision	Bowling first strongly preferred; chasing teams have won 57 out of 100 IPL matches at Eden Gardens (57%); both captains are expected to chase under lights
Pace Assist	Good in the powerplay with lateral movement and swing near the Hooghly River; edges carry well to the keeper and slips in the early overs; eases from over 7 onwards as the pitch flattens
Spin Assist	Effective in the first innings middle overs before dew arrives; Varun Chakravarthy (3/14 best this season) and Rashid Khan are dangerous bowling first; dew renders both significantly less effective in the 2nd innings from the 12th over onwards
Dew Effect	Decisive at Eden Gardens in May; ball becomes slippery and difficult to grip from the 12th to 14th over, neutralising spinners and helping batters play freely; chasing teams with explosive top orders get a significant advantage
