Pitch Report

The surface at the Eden Gardens Stadium in Kolkata is known for its batting-friendly nature, especially in the first half of the game. However, the bowlers (mostly pacers) might get going here in the second innings. The average score here has been 181, while the average first-innings score is 193. So, the toss-winning skipper will aim to bat first to post a troubling target for the opponent to chase down.
