    Eden track expected to be flat

    While Eden is mostly known for its slow nature of the wicket, over the years, the track has been re-laid and transformed into a batting-friendly track.

    As was evident on Sunday, with almost 400 runs being scored, the same can be expected on Wednesday.

    Nonetheless, the team winning the toss would look to bowl first.

    However, batting first won't be a bad option either.
