After Shreyas Iyer wicket at 17.2 over Andre Russell struggled a little bit but then he started to open his bat and hit boundaries. Ramandeep played his best with 2 fours and sixes scoring 24 runs.
Prediction
Eden Gardens is a high scoring ground, so if any team score 200+ it is not a tough score to chase also said by Robin Uthappa. With RCB batting lineup 223 runs is not tough to chase. This could be possible for them if they score 100+ in powerplay OR atleast 90+. Then there will be no pressure on the upcoming middle order.
