Kolkata’s Eden Gardens is considered to be one of the most iconic venues in the whole of the world in cricket history. Known for its electrifying atmosphere and unpredictable pitch conditions, Eden Gardens has witnessed several low-scoring thrillers, where teams have successfully defended modest totals in Tests, ODIs, and T20s.
Whether in international cricket or IPL, these rare but thrilling victories remain a testament to the unpredictable nature of the game, but disciplined bowling, strategic field placements, and added pressure have often been the factors influencing these low totals. Among them is Odisha’s 119/8 against Jharkhand from April 4, 2014.

For Jharkhand, Sarfaraz Ashraf was the pick among the bowlers, finishing with the figures of 5/25 in his four-over spell.
