Pitch Report – Eden Gardens, Kolkata

The pitch at Kolkata has usually offered something for both batters and bowlers. Fast bowlers can expect some help early on, while spinners tend to come into play as the match goes on. The surface is likely to behave the same way this time too. Reports suggest there will be a bit of grass on the wicket, which should stay, and the pitch is expected to provide good bounce and carry.
