Home is a place where teams feel good and confident enough, but for Bangalore, it turned out to be a neutral venue at home with the way bowling as been performed and also due to the nature of the pitch. But they hope to turn around things, as the home side take on Kolkata on Monday.
Kolkata seems slipped slightly a bit after Hattrick wins followed by 2 back to back losses, the blueprint has been pretty simple for visitors with bowling unit restricting oppositions to a par total and then chased with precision.
But in the last 2 games, things haven't gone through the blueprint and batting order showed the absence of Pandey along side their abnormal bowling performance. Although batsmen struggling against good bowling unit in making big scores, where Russell and Pathan failed to finish with big hits.
On the other side, Bangalore has been promising with the bat as ever and with new lines of Rahul and Jadhav making things easy around for Virat and AB. While Gayle's return will strengthen the batting even more.
Meanwhile, the bowling struggling to complement the batting performance, where their balance alters with inexperience and making things even complicated for batsmen during chases and defending as well.
The pitch at Bangalore known for quite a run-fest and the equation at Chinnaswamy going to be simple for teams should score big as many possible.
Gayle likely to return to the squad with playing at home and the reaming squad may not alter much, while Kolkata will bring in Shakib to strengthen the batting and may also consider an additional batsman in the lineup.
While Kolkata looks into their bowling after a poor show so as the home side, as the Contest determines the damage control with the ball at Chinnaswamy.
