SA vs NZ Pitch Report

The pitch at Eden Gardens is considered a batting friendly venue with true bounce and a fast outfield.

With pacers getting early movement with the new ball, spinners can find grip, especially in the middle overs. Chasing has been easier and toss winning teams might opt to bowl first.
