In a highly-anticipated clash, Kolkata Knight Riders will cross swords against Rajasthan Royals in the 56th group-stage fixture of the ongoing Indian Premier League season. As both teams will play their heart out to secure a win and keep their playoff hopes alive, we expect a cracking contest at the iconic Eden Gardens in Kolkata. As the venue gears up for the game, let's see what the pitch report says. 


Eden Gardens Pitch Report For Today

Earlier, Eden Gardens used to be a happy hunting ground for the spinners and bowlers with variations. However, the venue has been a batters' paradise of late, with the average scoring rate reading 8.28 and most of the games being high-scoring.

The deck usually offers something to the fast bowlers early on with the new ball. However, we haven't witnessed any substantial movement off the surface here this season. 

The pace and bounce will be even, making the track favourable for stroke play. And, of course, with the outfield being lightning quick, it will be a daunting task for the fielders to prevent the ball from reaching the fence once it goes past the 30-yard circle. 

All in all, it will be a true batting deck, with just enough in it for the spinners. So, whoever wins the toss will likely bowl first.
