What do the numbers reveal?
Eden Gardens has largely favoured batters this tournament, with only one first-innings total slipping below 160. Big scores have not been rare. Scotland piled up 207 against Italy, while England followed with 202 against the same opposition. Setting a target has proven to be the safer route, with four of the five matches here won by the team batting first. The average first-innings score sits just above 180, reinforcing the value of scoreboard pressure at this venue.
India - 1. The Men in Blue have turned Eden Gardens into a fortress, winning seven of their eight T20Is here. 2. They are on a seven-match winning streak at this ground. 3. Their last defeat in a T20I at this venue dates back to 2011 against England.
West Indies - 1. The Men in Maroon share iconic memories here, most notably their 2016 World Cup final triumph against England. 2. Their overall T20I record at the venue stands at three wins and four losses. 3. Against India at Eden Gardens, however, they are yet to register a win, having lost all four encounters.
