KKR vs GT: Eden Gardens Pitch Report
Eden Gardens in Kolkata is known for its lively atmosphere and balanced surface, but for this match, the surface is expected to be on the slower side. Early on, batsmen might find some value for their shots, but as the innings progress, the pitch tends to slow down significantly, making stroke play tougher. Spinners and slower bowlers will likely play a key role, especially in the second half. Despite the slowness, a par total here remains around 175 runs, given the small boundaries and fast outfield. Teams winning the toss may prefer to chase, considering how the pitch behaves under lights.
