Pitch Report according to previous Records:

The Eden Gardens pitch in Kolkata is traditionally a batting-friendly surface that produces high-scoring games, aided by its short square boundaries (around 63-64 meters). While fast bowlers can extract swing and seam movement with the new ball early on, the track generally flattens out, allowing batters to play aggressively.

Official Live Pitch Report:

We're slightly off-center. Out to my right side, it's 61 meters, and the captains will get some reprieve with 68, and it's a decent hit down the ground. But let's have a look at this 22 yards. Michael Clarke, what are you seeing first up, mate? Finchy looks pretty good, mate, to be honest. I think it's going to play pretty consistent once again this wicket here at Eden Gardens. Beautiful to bat. If we have a look at the surface, you can see there's a couple of dry areas, but they're pretty close to where the batters stand. So hitting this area here is going to be probably too full for the bowlers. You come a little bit further down where you're going to see the majority of the ball's pitch, I reckon it's a really nice, even surface for batting. So again, maybe it will be a tough night for the bowlers. Do you think this will favour spin at all? I think if anything, I think pace off is probably going to do the bowlers some favours. But in general here, it's nice for batting. It always is nice for batting. So you win the toss, you try and chase later on. - Aaron Finch, Michael Clarke.
