Today's UPW vs MI pitch report

In her pitch report, Anjum Chopra said:

“The pitch being used today is bang in the centre of the square - 55m square boundary each side, 65m hit straight down the ground.

"The surface is nicely bound and it is easy for the groundsmen to maintain the bounce. There's slight bit of coolness, and that might tempt the captains to bowl first. Otherwise, win the toss and put the runs on the board.”
