Pitch Report (Matthew Hayden and Sunil Gavaskar) : This wicket looks an absolute beauty. 72 m down the ground, 66 m on one side and look out on the other side, just 61 m, pitch number 8 being used. It is the fourth time we are playing here, there have been diminishing returns, in the last game here, Suryakumar Yadav chased down the score against Punjab with a brilliant hundred. This looks like a typical Mumbai pitch, there will be lots of runs there but there will also be a bit of help for the spinners because if you have a look little cracks are there which means that the pitch is dry. When it is a little bit dry there will be a little grip for the spinners. The spinners if used well can put a bit of a brake on the batters. But otherwise, you can look at the Indian cricket history and see how many batters from Mumbai have scored runs because they are bought up on pitches like this. Bat first and put pressure on the opposition.
