Eden Gardens Pitch Report: Will the Kolkata Surface Favor India or West Indies?
The Eden Gardens pitch for the upcoming India vs West Indies Super 8 clash on March 1 is expected to be a high-scoring “run-fest,” as it will reuse the same strip (Pitch No. 5 or 6) that witnessed the tournament’s first 200+ total earlier this month.
Throughout this World Cup, the track has offered a “fair contest” with consistent bounce and carry, favoring stroke-makers like Suryakumar Yadav and Nicholas Pooran while still providing pace and zip for bowlers like Jofra Archer and Jasprit Bumrah. However, as the surface has dried out, curator Sujan Mukherjee noted it may be a “little too dry” spinners such as Kuldeep Yadav and Michael Leask (who took 4/17 here recently) are likely to find significant grip in the middle overs.
Historically, while the ground stats show 9 wins for the chasing side out of 17 matches, the current “virtual quarterfinal” pressure and the presence of heavy dew make the toss crucial; your best strategy is to bat first if the pitch looks firm to avoid the second-innings slow-down, but only if the dew-countering chemicals are effective enough to keep the ball dry for your bowlers later.
