Eden Gardens Pitch Report: Batsmen's Paradise or Bowlers' Delight for India vs West Indies?

• India's 'virtual quarter-final' against West Indies at Eden Gardens will be on the same pitch where Scotland scored the tournament's first 200+ runs.
• Curator Sujan Mukherjee and Sourav Ganguly inspected the pitch, which is a traditional Eden wicket offering runs and some help to bowlers.
• High probability of dew and a dry pitch could make spin crucial, but the pitch also offers good bounce for pacers like Jasprit Bumrah and Arshdeep Singh.
• India has won all four T20s played against West Indies in Kolkata; West Indies has played two group matches here, winning both.
• Rain probability is negligible; maximum temperature 34°C, with 25-26°C during the match, making it a balanced pitch for batsmen and spinners.
