Eden Gardens pitch report
The pitch at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata is one of those tracks in India where the batters always love batting on. Earlier, this pitch used to be a slower one where the spinners dominated, but everything changed after the revamp. A fresh wicket is expected at the venue for this game where there will be an amount of bounce.

It has been seen that there is grass on the Eden Gardens’ wicket, so the pacers will definitely enjoy bowling here in the initial overs, and they can move the new ball as well. As the match will progress, the pitch will go easy on the batters, and they will be able to play their shots trusting the wicket.
The boundaries of this stadium are very small, and the outfield is lightning quick as well. The presence of practice wickets near one of the boundaries makes the job of the fielders much tougher. Once placed in the gap, it is almost possible for the fielders to stop the ball from reaching the boundary.
Eden Gardens hosted a couple of IPL 2022 playoffs earlier this year, where the 1st innings average score was 198 runs, which proves that this ground is a batting beauty. The dew generally plays a big part in Kolkata and both captains would look to chase after winning the toss.
