Eden Gardens, Kolkata Pitch Report
The pitch at Eden Gardens provides a balanced surface for batters and bowlers. However, it tends to slow down as the match progresses, making spin bowlers more effective. Batters can still score heavily, with totals often near 200 runs. Fast bowlers must be precise with their line and length, as mistakes can easily be taken advantage of.
