India vs West Indies: Pitch Report
Early reports say that the pitch at the Narendra Modi Stadium will have a grassy top, which is different from its usual spin-friendly surface.. At first, the surface should give the ball an even bounce, which could help batters who take their time to get used to it and build a long innings.
But as the game goes on, the pitch will probably slow down, which will make it harder to score runs in the later stages and bring spinners into play.
