Today’s MI vs RCB pitch report

“This is a pitch that will produce a lot of runs. There’ll be some help for the seamers since there is a fair covering of grass on a good length area. Expect a bit of movement and bounce, but there might not be too much turn for the spinners. There’s an 80% chance of victory with a 220-run score if you bat first.” – Pommie Mbangwa and Sunil Gavaskar
