Launch report: “It is the same pitch that was used yesterday. It is the full length that has been used for the races on this terrain. The ball moves a little with the good hard length and that little movement is enough in T20. There is carry, there is a few more cracks, but the grass is holding it together. There shouldn’t be much help for the spinners. It looks like a very good cricket ground. Not much dew, so I won the draw and bat first, “said Deep Dasgupta and Ajit Agarkar .
