Sourav Ganguly first gig turning out to be good for Test cricket so far, he left no stone unturned for this. Inviting Bangladesh's Hon. PM Sheikh Hasina along with first test team of Bangladesh. i really hope after this he will take care of spectators concerns regarding stadium facilities etc.
So BCCI is inaugurating the day night Test match with a bang and there is a reason for that, if the match could attract the audience interest which they are looking for and it will become a grand success in the grant scheme of things then we might see day night matches quite often and their main focal point will be TRP rating and stadium audience.
All tickets are sold already for first 4 days.
Imagine if this was in between Australia and India :-D
Too bad it isnt. anyway i am expecting both teams to play a D/N test against each others soon.

It's Eden Garden; oldest stadium in India. Let me bring some test history for team India on the board.
~Edite out~
These are some good stats for the upcoming match. Moreover, it's the broken Bangladesh.
Kolkatta has a 100 year old history in sports after all, be it cricket or football. Bangladesh is broken team atm but i am not sure if we are heading towards another one sided game or not.
Australia is batting really well and they might score over 240 runs even without loosing a wicket, hard time to be a Pakistani bowler with the way in which both the Australian openers are batting
.
Pitch looking dead to me, no sign of reverse swing et all so far. all pakistani seamers struggling atm, their best bet is Oz batsmen make some mistakes othewise they are on mercy of batsmen.
Aus 150/0
