Pitch Report
The surface at Eden Gardens is expected to favor batters overall, though there could be some early assistance for pace bowlers due to slight stickiness and grass presence. While a few dry patches are visible, they are unlikely to significantly affect play. The venue has historically produced high-scoring matches, with last season’s average first-innings total hovering around the 200-run mark.
