Today's MI vs UPW pitch report

“It’s pitch number 8. The same one where UP Warriorz defended 178, the only game where a team has managed to defend. There's hardly been any dew. It's a good wicket-taking track and is quite green. A few cracks are opening, but nothing of danger to these teams. Get to that 170-180 mark and trust your bowlers.” - Murali Kartik and Stacy-Ann King
