On Thursday, Australia and South Africa will lock horns with each other in the second semifinal of the ongoing World Cup. Both teams have been stupendous with both bat and ball in the competition. While South Africa finished the league-stage as the second most successful team, Australia clinched seven consecutive wins to secure a berth in the semifinals. Considering their recent form, we anticipate a cracking contest to set the tone for a grand finale. 

So, as they gear up to take on each other, let's see how the pitch at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata will behave throughout the game. 

Eden Gardens Kolkata Pitch Report

The surface at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata has been a paradise for the spinners so far in the tournament. While the pacers have found some extra bounce with the new ball, the batters have toiled hard to get runs under their belt. If a similar pitch is dished out for the semifinal, it will be a no-brainer for the toss-winner to bat first. 

However, if a fresh track is given, it won't be surprising to see the toss-winning team opting to bowl even though the ball seams subtly here under the lights.
