Today's DC vs RR pitch report

“It is a nice surface. In the last game, 205 runs were scored [by MI]. It is a bit drier today, so bowlers might get some assistance. There’s decent grass cover, but it is a bit patchy as well. There should be a little more grip for the spinners and the quick bowlers with their change-ups. Looks like an even surface. The dimensions, though, will challenge the bowlers.” - Greame Swann and Shane Watson
