PBKS vs MI Pitch Report

The Narendra Modi Stadium Pitch has favoured batters this season, but spinners could have some advantage after the powerplay. The bowlers will enjoy if the pitch on offer is a red soil wicket, which will help them in generating extra bounce, which isn’t the case in the black soil surface.

The surface also has some bounce for pacers. However, dew might make difference in the second innings.
