Pitch Behavior — Phase by Phase
Powerplay (Overs 1–6): Eden Gardens mein powerplay mein pitch thoda fresh rehta hai. Pacers ko new ball se movement milti hai — especially agar subah grass thodi bachi ho. Batters ke liye boundary maarna aasaan hai kyunki outfield bahut fast hai. Average powerplay score yahan 55–65 runs hota hai.
Middle Overs (Overs 7–15): Ye phase Eden Gardens ka sabse interesting phase hai. Pitch slow hone lagti hai aur spinners effective ho jaate hain. Sunil Narine aur Varun Chakravarthy jaisi KKR spinners ko yahan ghar jaisi feeling milti hai. Mystery spin aur offspin dono ko extra purchase milti hai. Batters ko set hona padta hai — sixes nahi aate jab tak timing perfect na ho.
Death Overs (Overs 16–20): Agar afternoon match hai (jaise KKR vs RR, 3:30 PM) toh dew factor nahi hoga. Pacers phir se effective ho jaate hain — slower balls aur yorkers pitch par acche bounce karte hain. Finishers ke liye square boundaries (60–68m) short hain — boundary maarna nisbatan aasaan hai.
