Today's UPW vs GG pitch report

"Today's pitch is a mix of red and black soil. It’s a pretty hard surface, rolled very well. It should be full of runs for the batters. Having that said, I think there will be help for the seamers early on. There's a slight covering of grass and some cracks as well, although they won't play a role." - Mithali Raj
