The Eden Gardens in Kolkata, hosting the twenty-first match of IPL 2025 on April 8, 2025, at 07:30 PM IST, is known for its batting-friendly surface. Experts from SportsGully confirm that the pitch offers excellent support to batters, with an average first-innings score of around 185-190, based on recent IPL data. The surface provides good pace and bounce, making it ideal for stroke-making, while the relatively short boundaries amplify scoring opportunities. Spinners might get some turn in the middle overs, but pacers are expected to dominate with early swing. Teams batting second have a slight edge due to dew, making bowling first a strategic choice. The weather is expected to be warm with temperatures around 29°C and humidity at 80%, with a low chance of rain, ensuring an uninterrupted match, though dew could impact the second innings.
