The pitch at Eden Gardens in Kolkata is a Batting Paradise, as the ball comes nicely onto the bat. As the match progresses, the pitch gets better to bat on, as the dew sets in, making things difficult for the bowlers. However, with the second new ball rule in place, a dry ball can offer some turn and grip to the spinners. Still, the teams would prefer to chase the score at this venue.
The weather in Kolkata is expected to be hot, but conditions will be difficult for the players to cope with. The temperatures will hover at 35°C, with no chances of rain.
