Pitch Report:
The Eden Gardens surface in Kolkata often results in high-scoring games. However, this time around, it is a batter’s paradise only during the first 15 overs of the game. Later in the game, it may give spin bowlers a chance to make an impact and heighten the tension in the struggle. With the new ball, the hallowed grass can also be effective since it can provide carry.
Injury News:
Glenn Maxwell will return to the side after sitting out the previous game due to cramps.
