Eden Gardens Pitch Report
Eden Gardens is known to be a batter's paradise thanks to the smaller boundaries, but the wickets seem to assist spinners as the match wears on. However, the last few matches at the venue have seen seam bowlers also find some joy. Plus, the dew factor once the sunsets will also play a role in the captain's decision at the toss, which will be most likely choice to bowl first.
