Pitch Report: The Eden Gardens pitch is known for its balanced nature, providing support for both the batters and bowlers alike. Early in the match, the pitch is expected to offer seam movement and swing, giving the fast bowlers an advantage. However, as the game progresses, the pitch is likely to become more batting-friendly, providing more opportunities for the batters to score runs. Spinners may also get some assistance from the surface, though this may be limited, especially since it is the first match of the season, when the pitch conditions may not fully favour spin bowling.
