Today's LSG vs RCB pitch report
“We are right in the center of the ground. It's this mixed pitch right, which is Orissa black and Mumbai red. A beautiful wicket. There are dark patches, but there's no moisture in it. It is quite hard underneath. It's got a nice covering of grass. Might not be a 200-plus wicket. The last time, it was a mid-160s-type wicket.” - Deep Dasgupta and Matthew Hayden
