Pitch Report
Eden Gardens has hosted four matches in the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023, and in each of these games, spin bowlers have played a prominent role. Ravindra Jadeja notably achieved a five-wicket haul. Given the pitch conditions, teams are inclined to choose batting first, as the ball tends to behave unpredictably and stay low in the later stages of the match.
In the later phases of the match, the spin bowlers will likely contribute with the ball. Additionally, the revered playing surface may prove effective with the new ball, providing added bounce. The average first-inning score at this venue is 242.
