Eden Gardens Pitch Report

The pitch at Kolkata used to aid the bowlers in recent years but in the last few years or so, it has become a belter for batting. Teams batting second have gone on to chase big totals. Bowlers will need to bring their variations in a smarter way. The average first innings score is 183 and teams winning the toss usually opt to bowl first and try to restrict the opposition.

In the last game, the surface proved to be not great for the batters. First Kolkata huffed and puffed to put up 149 and in the second innings, it got easier to bat on as Rajasthan Royals chased it with 9 wickets in hand. 4 wickets a piece for both pacers and spinners in that game.
