There is not much recent data on Karnataka and Bengal, so this looks like an open contest. We will firm up our pick once the playing XIs are known.

The toss could matter here. Chasing has been the better option at this ground, so the captain who calls right may well choose to bowl first. We expect a first-innings score of around 255, and anything well above that should put the batting side in control.
