Eden Gardens
The first match of IPL 2025 will be played between Kolkata Knight Riders and Royal Challengers Bangalore. There is currently a threat of rain on this match. Both teams will be face to face at the Eden Gardens on 22 March, but the practice session of both teams was eradicated ahead of time due to the continuous drizzle in the evening just a day before this match. The practice of both teams started at five in the evening, but it started raining around six in the evening. The players then returned to Chhoksar. After the cancellation of the practice session, the fans are now worried about this match.
Eden Gardens’ drainage system is great
Let us tell you that the drainage system in Eden Gardens is tremendous. It is one of the plains where the entire ground can be covered when rain comes. This keeps the pitch completely safe for the match. At the same time, the New Alipur office of the Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) has released ‘Orange Alert’ for Friday and Saturday. It warns of thunderstorms, electricity, hailstorm and moderate rainfall in many districts including Kolkata. IMD said, on Friday, Jhadgram, East and West Midnapore, Bankura, Purulia, East Bardhaman, Hooghly and Howrah are likely to receive strong winds, electricity, hailstorm and light to moderate rainfall. The weather forecast for Saturday is not as good from the perspective of the match. According to Weather report, Nadia, Birbhum, Murshidabad, Purba Bardhaman and North and South 24 Parganas may rain with strong winds with thunderstorms.
KKR vs RCB: One hour extra time will be for the match
The KKR vs RCB match will begin at 7:30 pm. The toss for the match will be at 7 pm. At 6 pm, there is a magnificent opening ceremony with stars like Shreya Ghoshal and Disha Patni. However, it has to be seen how much the rain causes obstruction in this match. According to IPL rules, there is an additional time of one hour for the league stage matches. This means that the cut-off time for a five-over match is 10:56 pm. The end of the match in it is 12:06 pm. Fans are eagerly waiting for the match. However, the Meteorological Department’s warning has raised their concern.
