Pitch Report by Mpumelelo Mbangwa

The pitch is good despite the mosaic nature of it. It should help the fast bowlers as there will be good pace and carry.  It will spin as well, not as much as the last one, but it will turn. SRH will be in high spirits with a good mix of pace and spin. According to experts Rizers have to be careful of the short square boundaries though - 70 and 62 metres, respectively. MI need to get more than 165 if it wants to win.
