KKR vs SRH LIVE: Eden Gardens pitch report

02/04/2026 17:45

The Eden Gardens pitch has evolved from a spin-friendly deck to a batter’s paradise. The surface offers true bounce and short boundaries, making it difficult for bowlers to contain runs once a batter is set.

Average 1st Innings Score: 175-185 (However, 200+ is the recent trend).
Toss Factor: Dew is expected to play a major role in the second innings. The captain winning the toss will likely opt to bowl first, as chasing has been the preferred method of victory at this venue.
