IND vs WI Pitch Report: The pitch at Kolkata's Eden Gardens offers bounce and pace due to the red soil. The last few matches have seen scores of 200+. The square boundaries are narrow, which West Indies' power-hitters can exploit. However, due to dew in the second innings, spinners will find it difficult to grip the ball, so the chasing team may have an advantage.
