Today's MI vs DC pitch report

According to Simon Katich, pitch seven is absolutely rock hard. There’s a little bit of grass, but Katich expects plenty of runs.

The numbers indicate that spin has gone for less runs than pace. Also, slow bowlers have a better average at the venue. However, Katich has warned that the ball flies at the Wankhede, as it's a small ground, so bowling a lot of spin could be risky.
