Eden Park Pitch Report:
Eden Park features a renowned drop-in pitch that tends to favour bowlers. Initially, fast bowlers are poised to capitalize on substantial seam movement, especially during the early stages of the match. Nevertheless, as the game advances, spinners are anticipated to assume a more influential role, exploiting the decreasing pace of the pitch to their advantage.
