Today's RCB vs DC pitch report

“It's a good pitch to bat on, but it is on the slower side. The grass has been shaved off. It is brown in color. Batters need to be careful as the ball might not come on. Maybe the team batting first can try and post 150. There will be a little bit of turn in the first innings.” - Mithali Raj
