Eden Gardens Pitch Report:
Eden Gardens, known for its historic significance in cricket, offers a wicket that is often favored by batsmen. In the initial stages of the game, it provides bounce, making it a good pitch for the faster bowlers. However, as the match progresses, the pitch tends to slow down, providing favorable conditions for spinners. Consequently, the team winning the toss might consider batting first to set a competitive target on this iconic pitch.
