This pitch and conditions at the Eden Gardens will once again favour the batsmen to a great extent during the entire 50-overs match. There will be some assistance for the fast bowlers with a little grass expected to be on the surface and the ball might tend to swing a bit more under the lights. It will once again difficult for the spinners from both India and Sri Lanka. However, the dew factor will be a major concern and this will favour the team batting second.
