The pitch report is something that is very crucial for both teams. It not only tells you what conditions you will be playing in but also dictates what you decide to do if you end up winning the toss. Different conditions require to be dealt differently. A team’s decision to bat or bowl first can very heavily depend upon the pitch report. It also gives the fans a general idea of what kind of game can be expected.
Today’s pitch report was provided by Matthew Hayden and Sunil Gavaskar. They said:
“72 meters down the ground, 66 meters on one side, 61 meters on the other. Fourth time this pitch is being used. Looks like a typical Mumbai pitch.

If spinners are used well, they can put brakes on the batters.”
