Revised Playing Conditions:
Overs: 16

Four bowlers can bowl a maximum of three overs. One bowler can bowl a maximum of four overs.
Pitch Report (Danny Morrison): "This is pitch number five. They played a match here on March 28 a while ago, with SRH touring against KKR.
Now then, as ever, the dimensions are never of a big ground. Looking out, to my left, 67 is the big side there. And over to my right, it's only 62. Another little pocket in there is only 54 and downtown it is 75 meters.
But when I glance at the 22 yards, I won't go down there because the ground staff get a bit touchy, and they don't like us standing all over their Garden of Eden.
I reckon the spinners will quite like it here because it's been undercover for so long. In terms of the surface, I think all the spinners on show tonight who can give it some, will actually get a little bit of purchase out of it.
If the pacers get it slightly wrong, it’ll disappear. It’s very cool here in Kolkata, so it might swing around a bit."
