Despite recent night match statistics showing a relatively even split between teams winning after batting first or second, the venue is known for producing high-scoring encounters. During the 2024 IPL season, there were three instances where teams posted scores exceeding 200 in the first innings, with one match witnessing both teams surpassing the 220-run mark.

  IND vs ENG 2nd T20I Live Score: Will Shami play?

  Mohammed Shami, who didn't play in Kolkata, was seen practicing his bowling skills. He started off with a shortened run-up and a knee brace, under the watchful eye of the bowling coach. Later on, he picked up the pace and bowled at full speed. It seems like he may have been dealing with a knee issue that he was either recovering from or managing.

  Despite some worries about his fitness when he was left out of the Kolkata match, Mohammed Shami is actually in good shape to play.
