PAK vs BAN: Pitch Report

Eden Gardens is famous for making pitches that are usually good for batting. They use black cotton soil for preparing the pitches, which helps keep a nice bounce, making it easier for batters. However, as the game progresses, the pitch tends to slow down, which can be helpful for spin bowlers. In the recent ODI match, the Netherlands defeated Bangladesh by 87 runs. The Dutch team scored 229, while Bangladesh managed only 142 in response.
