IPL 2021 live updates, MI vs KKR: PITCH REPORT

Here's what Danny Morrison and Mathew Hayden said suring the pitch report

Abu Dhabi is as hot as it's ever been. A pleasant breeze is blowing through. It's a brand-new surface. Isn't this an absolute fast bowler's dream come true? Tonight's match will be a battle of spinners; fast bowlers do pick up wickets here and there since the pitch is a little grassy and bounces like a slow tennis ball. Spin is notoriously difficult to score against, as it accounts for 40% of all wickets. Spinners are successful for a variety of reasons, including the breeze and the size of the boundary. Batters may have a difficult time.
