Today's DC vs GT pitch report

According to Deep Dasgupta, the grass on the surface seems to be a little patchy as compared to the last game.

A bit of it is dry grass, but there are patches where there's no grass, and it looks a little dry, he elaborated. Dasgupta reckoned that the surface will be a very good one to bat on but might be a bit two-paced. In the first half, spinners might get a little bit of help, he concluded.
