Eden Gardens Pitch Report (IPL 2026)

According to the Eden Gardens pitch report, the surface of this ground should be a major advantage to most batsmen, especially later in the match.

Batting Conditions

Generally speaking, the batting pitch is flat so that batsmen can play their shots through the line of the bat easily throughout the majority of the match. Due to the size of Eden Gardens’ square boundary, this will be a great venue for high-scoring games of cricket because the size of the boundary will allow aggressive batting.

Bowling Conditions

When the new ball is first used, fast bowlers could find that they may receive a little bit of assistance with swing bowling. However, as the game progresses the pitch will become less helpful to bowlers and they will need to be able to bowl differently (with variation) and/or execute their deliveries extremely well.

Dew Factor

Night-game conditions at Eden Gardens exhibit a great deal of dew. When dew is present, the ball will slide through to the bat much easier than if no dew is present, so this will provide batsmen with an additional advantage while at the same time making it harder for fast bowlers to bowl effectively.
