Pitch report
The Eden Gardens pitch, exhibiting a gradual deceleration, favours initial batting but progressively loses its pace. As the innings progress, spinners become pivotal, exploiting the surface's grip. Seamers, facing a less responsive ball, resort to cutters towards the end. Chasing becomes a formidable task under the lights, with increased ball movement and a more challenging batting surface. Early advantage notwithstanding, the pitch dynamics demand strategic adaptability for success in both batting and bowling pursuits.
