Pitch report
The pitch of Eden Gardens Stadium will be helpful for the batsmen, but here the bowlers can get a good bonus. Spinners will get more help, can see turn. The outfield will remain fast, the powerplay may have a lot of runs. If the team that batted first made a score of less than 200, it will be very easy to chase the target. If this match is being played in the afternoon, then the dew will not be a factor, but still the decision to bowl first after winning the toss will be right. The team that batting first should score up to 210, which will not be very difficult to make here.
