The field at Eden Gardens is exceptionally favorable for batsmen, offering an excellent opportunity to score a significant number of runs. It's in Kolkata. The ground makes pace and bounce a lot, which is great for Twenty20 and one day games. If you're batting first, be cautious!

The outside of the field is quick out field. The skipper winning the toss might be tempted to have a bowl first and chase the total later on in the match.
