As Team India comes to the ground down 0-1 in the series, a packed Eden would expect the hosts to create history by winning their first ODI against Pakistan on this ground and square the three-match series.
India have lost all three ODIs that it played against Pakistan earlier here.
The Eden crowd has always been characterised as passionate and perhaps the most sporting of all in the country.
One of the finest moments in India-Pakistan rivalry happened on this ground Feb 3, 1980, when 85,000 spectators rose to give a standing ovation to visiting captain Asif Iqbal after his final Test innings.
Iqbal, who described playing at Eden as "a schoolboy's dream come true", had chosen the iconic ground for his swansong.
The stadium has witnessed some of the historic events of world cricket including the 1987 World Cup final, the inauguration of the 1996 World Cup and its unfinished controversial semi-final between Sri Lanka and India that was awarded to the visitors due to crowd violence.
Again in 1999, the last few balls of an India-Pakistan Test had to be played before vacant galleries after police emptied the stands following unruly scenes.
However, Prasanna finds the grandeur and elegance of the stadium intoxicating. "It's real beauty lies in the heart of its spectators. Eden has the ambience, the atmosphere.
"And I feel Test cricket will really bounce back to life the day it attracts a capacity crowd at Eden. And this is going to happen in the very near future, may be in an India-Pakistan match."
