IND vs PAK Live: Pitch report from Colombo!
Sanjay Manjrekar and Waqar Younis’ pitch report:
The sun is out, and there isn’t a grey cloud in the sky. The curators also watered the pitch, so that’s a sign that the weather might have changed. We’ve got a bit of grass covering on this pitch. The pitch might have a bit for the pacers with the new ball, and the spinners will get purchase because of the moisture underneath.
Grass on the pitch, that means it’s a paradise for pacers early on. Will be interesting to see how Rohit and Gill tackle Shaheen and Naseem in the powerplay.
