<p>CAB's (Cricket Association of Bengal) pitch curator Prabir Mukherjee promises a sporting one-day track for the fifth and final match tomorrow with the hosts on the verge of inflicting a 5-0 whitewash on England.<br /><br />"We have prepared a pitch that will stay firm with even bounce. It will be a typical one-day wicket. Plenty of runs will be on offer," Mukherjee told PTI, refusing to predict any total.<br /><br />Asked what a team should do upon winning the toss, Mukherjee said: "It's not for me to say. The captain knows it the best."<br /><br />The pitch has a little grass on it and it is expected to provide a little assistance to the seamers with spinners also in an advantageous position to extract some turn later on.<br />With the onset of winter, dew might play a major role and Mukherjee said that they are taking all measures to combat the dew factor.<br /><br />"There's not much dew nowadays. But we will take precautions -- of chemical sprays -- in case the dew comes into play," he said.<br /><br />With an overcast cloudy sky, CAB is leaving no stone unturned to avoid a situation where rain could play spoilsport.<br /><br />The state association has arranged covers for the entire ground with more than 50 groundstaff to do the needful.<br /><br />"For the first time for an ODI a full cover has been arranged. We have had this in the IPL before. In case of a rain, it will cover the entire stadium. More than 50 groundsmen will be ready to do the job if needed."<br /><br />Last month rains robbed CAB of the Champions League T20 matches in Eden Gardens.</p>
