Pitch report by WV Raman: This is a different pitch today. The last game was played on a red-soil wicket. Today is a mixture of red and black soil. This is pitch number 6 being used for this game. The longest hit straight down the ground is 69m and there will be a bit of inconsistent bounce and pace on this wicket.
