DC vs MI Live: Pitch Report - It's slightly chilly, a bit overcast and a tad gloomy in Delhi. We're using pitch number 3 for tonight's game. So, we've a short square boundary at 46m and a longer side boundary at 63m. The straight boundary is 64m long. It looks like a good surface, not a lot of green grass, it's brown in colour and it keeps the pitch firm. There are one or two cracks, but it shouldn't come into play at all. Lots of runs on offer, but there could be a bit in it for the seamers.
