This contest has a scheduled start of 11 AM IST on February 19 at Eden Gardens in Kolkata. West Indies have a chance to test their bench strength ahead of the Super 8, but they will also eye a win and keep the winning momentum going.

WI vs ITA: Pitch Report

The wicket at Eden Gardens has been more favorable for the batting side. This wicket is flat, which offers good bounce and pace. But there has been some grip in the lateral half of the games.

That is making the timing of batters a little harder. Three out of four games have been won batting first, which will be on the mind of both captains at the toss.
