Indian T20 League 2019, Match 17: Bangalore vs Kolkata – NostraGamus Predictions

Bangalore will be looking to make their first win in a match against Kolkata. The 17th match of the season will be held at M.Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru at 8 PM IST. Bangalore hopes a playing advantage on their home ground will get them a win.

Bangalore is leading a losing streak this IPL, yet to have won a single cricket match. They came to a close win against Rajasthan but gave in too easily giving them their first victory. Virat and his men need to work on their playing combination, maybe even start fresh with a new combination, but not many alternatives seem available. Desperate for a win, captain Virat Kohli will be looked to for motivation and confidence to push his team through the match.

After losing to Delhi, Kolkata will be entering the ground after almost a week. The team has had ample time to practice and optimize their playing strategy. Hopefully, all the weight won’t be on Andre Russell from now, the rest of the team needs to up their game and pull the team together. Especially after dealing with an injury to Sunil Narine which heavily impacted their strategy. Let’s see what kind of competition Kolkata gives to Bangalore this game.
