AUS vs SA Weather and Pitch Report

Talking about the wicket at the Eden Garden, it has aided the spinners in the three games played at this venue so far. With the last game played at this venue last weekend, it might be a possibility that the curators might have worked more to make the stroke-making easy for the batters. However, both teams can expect the ball to grip. Both teams would like to bat first.
