Today's GG vs MI pitch report

“A brand new pitch is being used tonight. Compared to yesterday's surface, the cracks are visible. There might be some moisture in the surface. Bowlers might get a little bit of movement early on. However, there are a lot of runs to be scored. Things do get better for batting second innings due to the dew.” - Charles Dagnall and Stacey-Ann King
