The iconic Eden Gardens in Kolkata will host it’s second match of the ongoing World Cup on Tuesday (October 31). The PAK vs BAN match holds a lot of importance for both the sides regarding their qualification scenarios in the mega event. Both sides have failed to make any impact in the World Cup so far and they will be keen to change it in the upcoming match. Meanwhile, let us take a look at the pitch report of the Eden Gardens ahead of the PAK vs BAN clash.
Eden Gardens Pitch Report:
The PAK vs BAN encounter in Kolkata might see a good track to bat especially with dew also setting in during the later stages of the match. The new ball bowlers might be able to extract some seam movement from the track but the wicket gets easier to bat on as the game progresses. However, the first game of the World Cup at the venue saw the bowlers dominate. The skipper winning the toss might prefer to have a bowl first and chase the total later on.
PAK vs BAN weather report:
There are no chances of rain in Kolkata on Tuesday (October 31) or in the lead up to match. It is expected to be a day for hazy sunshine and moonlight with temperatures touching 33° C at the start of play and reducing 26° C at the closing stages, according to AccuWeather.
