The Eden Gardens in Kolkata, hosting the fifteenth match of IPL 2025 on April 3, 2025, at 07:30 PM IST, is renowned for its batting-friendly surface. Experts from SportsGully confirm that the pitch offers excellent support to batters, with an average first-innings score of around 185-190, based on historical IPL data. The pitch provides good pace and bounce, making it ideal for stroke-making, while the relatively short boundaries amplify scoring opportunities. Pacers may get some early movement, but spinners might struggle to contain runs, especially in the death overs. Teams batting second often have an edge due to dew, making bowling first a preferred choice. The weather is expected to be warm, with temperatures around 29°C and humidity at 80%, with a low chance of rain, ensuring an uninterrupted match, though dew could impact the second innings.
