Over the last 10 days the pitch has been covered due to rain. The outfield will be a bit wet. Watch out for slipping and sliding. You don't know if it will rain or not tonight. The pitch seems a bit dry one. There are a few cracks, and some moisture seems to have seeped in through them. Hence, we see a few shoots coming out. This wicket might have something for the bowlers initially. If you are batting first you want to get at least 175.
