ENG vs PAK Pitch Report:
The recent matches at the Eden Gardens have seen a mixture of results. While two matches have been won by the team batting first, the other went in the favour of the team chasing. All three matches have been played on different wickets that have assisted the quick bowlers in the early stages. However, the batting is expected to become easier once the ball gets old. The skipper winning the toss might want to have a bat first and put a big total on the board.
