Kolkata, February 27 India's virtual quarterfinal against the West Indies in the T20 World Cup here on Sunday will be played on the same pitch that witnessed the tournament's first 200-plus total, achieved by Scotland.
According to what local curator Sujan Mukherjee indicated, the Super Eights clash between India and West Indies will be held on the strip that hosted the "second match of the T20 World Cup".
Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB) president Sourav Ganguly inspected the pitch on Friday evening before it was fully covered along with the outfield.
There was a lengthy discussion between the former BCCI president and Mukherjee, along with the board's chief curator Ashish Bhowmick.
The former India captain checked the firmness from both ends and closely examined the surface.
"Ganguly appeared happy seeing the preparation of the pitch, which was last used for the second World Cup match. It's a typical Eden wicket, full of runs, and there would be something in it for the bowlers too," Mukherjee told
