Tanzid Hasan, Litton Das, Max O'Dowd, Shakib Al Hasan (C), Mushfiqur Rahim (WK), Mahmudullah, Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Colin Ackermann (VC), Taskin Ahmed, Roelof van der Merwe and Mustafizur Rahman. Eden Gardens, with 31 ODIs under its belt, is a batting-friendly venue, especially during middle overs where spinners also gain an edge. Made from black cotton soil, the pitch starts off bouncy and slows down as the game advances, favouring spin bowling.
Seventeen of those 31 ODIs were won by teams batting first while 12 of those were won by teams bowling first. Two matches did not produce any results. Winning the toss and choosing to bat first seems like an obvious choice.
In Kolkata, the temperature will be around 31 degrees when the match starts and will cool down during the evening. The humidity will be high at 71%. However, as per Weather.com, there is little chance of rain.
