There is a very fast outfield at the Eden Gardens, and the batters can take a lot of advantage of the same.

It has been seen lately that the pitch has a greenish tinge to it, and the pacers can swing the new ball in the initial overs of the game under lights. If the batters can survive the initial overs, the rest of the match can be a treat for them.

The sitting capacity of the Eden Gardens is around 80,000, which is the 2nd largest in India after Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. A full house capacity crowd is expected at the playoffs in Kolkata.
