Pitch Analysis
Eden Gardens in Kolkata serves up a pitch that delights batters with its consistent bounce and quick outfield.
The ball comes onto the bat nicely, encouraging fluent stroke play right from the start.
Seamers may find some early movement, but the wicket generally flattens out, providing minimal assistance for spinners as the match wears on.
The lush outfield further aids run-scoring, and dew tends to influence second-innings bowling. With an average first-innings total of 202, this venue often produces high-scoring thrillers.
