The Eden Gardens pitch is likely to be a dry surface, which historically plays in the favor of spinners. With minimum watering and the pitch set to slow down further as the match wears on, slower bowlers are likely to play a telling role. Eeden Gardens has traditionally been a batting ground, but in their recent match against SRH, KKR was able to score a commanding total of 200 runs, while displaying a balanced effort with four seamers on the other side, unlike KKR’s approach of employing three spinners.
