Pitch Report | Harsha Bhogle and Michael Atherton: (before the rain): "Humidity - 72%, wind is expected to be 12km/hr. Dimensions - 69m and 70m, straight - 79m. This pitch looks very dry, looks cracked and the cracks are quite solid and not moving around. I expect this pitch to be quite low and skiddy, particularly for the spinners.I don't think we'll see the kind of bounce or uneven bounce that we saw in Trinidad for the first semifinal in Trinidad. The average score batting first in a day game is about 167. A low skiddy pitch which tends to favour the spinners."
