IND vs SL Pitch Report

The pitch at the Wankhede stadium is a batting paradise. The ball skids off the surface and the batters would look to use the pace of the bowlers. The batters would also like to make the most of the short boundaries. The dew would only be an add on to the bowlers miseries and expected to play its part. However, the pacers might enjoy bowling the initial overs as there is some movement on offer early in the game. We are expected to have a full game on the cards.
