Eden Gardens Pitch Report

The surface at the Eden Gardens for tonight's game is expected to be a flat and batting-friendly pitch, offering perfect conditions for high-scoring game. Chasing teams generally enjoy an upper hand at the iconic venue, because of the short square boundaries and lighting-fast outfield, and the significant role of evening dew.
