KKR vs CSK, Pitch Report
Who will win, batsman or bowler? The Eden Gardens pitch is generally considered to be helpful for batsmen. The surface of the pitch is quite balanced but as the match progresses, the pitch slows down a bit, which helps the spinners. However, in the last few years, the curators have made the pitch even more conducive for batting. Having short boundaries also gives batsmen a chance to play freely.
