Pitch report: "61m to the western side, 67m to the eastern side, 70m hit down the ground. The surface here has been the most consistent throughout the tournament in terms of pace, bounce. It has been a brilliant surface to bat on. It has produced runs, runs and more runs. Do we expect the same tonight?," says Simon Doull. But I think so, let's ask Murali Kartik. Simon, "I would think you want to take the new nut and have a roll because it looks green from a bit of distance. This is pitch No. 5 and GT have both their games on it. Average first innings total is 210 and average total in 192 but the important thing is team batting first has won more. It's the blacksoil from Odisha. It's pretty hard and rolled in. Fair sprinkling of grass. There will be something for the pacers but I still think runs galore. Won't be a bad option to bat first," opines Kartik.
