The surface at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata has favoured the spinners so far in the World Cup. The wicket is expected to be on the drier side having ample assistance for the spinners.

However, the seamers have definitely got some movement under the lights in both matches. Also, considering there will be little or no dew, the toss-winner might opt to bat and put runs on the board.
