Today's DC vs MI pitch report
“The highest score at this ground is 235. There's straw-colored grass on the pitch and there are lots of visible cracks. So this is not exactly as flat as surfaces we normally see. It might not have an effect on run-scoring though. More teams have won batting first at this venue. - Murali Kartik
