Eden Gardens Pitch Reports
Knight Riders (KKR) and Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) face off at the historic Eden Gardens in Kolkata. Earlier, Eden’s twenty-two yards usually saw spinners swinging their bats, but the last few years have seen batting-friendly wickets in Twenty20 cricket. At the beginning of the innings, the pacers were also seen to be effective by using the new ball. As the boundary distance in Eden is not more than 22 yards, it is convenient for the batsmen to hit big shots. The chances of seeing big runs in today’s game are high. Out of 12 international T-20s in Kolkata, the victory came in 5 matches by batting first. Several wins by run chase is 6. One match remains unsolved.
Eden has hosted 86 IPL matches so far. 35 out of 81 matches were won by the team batting first. And in 51 matches the victory came by chasing runs. The average first innings score in Kolkata hovers around 160. The average second innings score is around 147 runs. Kolkata Knight Riders have scored the highest runs in an innings at this ground in IPL. They scored 232 runs against Mumbai Indians in 2019. Royal Challengers Bangalore have the record for scoring the least runs. In 2017 they scored only 49 runs. Which is still a record in the history of IPL. Keeping statistics in mind, the captain who wins the toss today can decide to bowl first.
