Eden Gardens Pitch Report:

At a stadium that saw the highest total successfully chased in the IPL, and then in all T20s in two of its last three matches, anything less than a very flat surface should not be expected. This surface will provide even more cause for worry to the bowlers. And with players like Sunil Narine and Surya Kumar Yadav on show, another 200+ total is going to be on the cards.
