The weather may affect the pitch conditions on the Green Park Stadium too. The pitch at the Kanpur ground is usually a bit slow and low but good for batting for the first two days before there is enough damage on the surface to assist spinners. The overcast conditions might delay the wear and tear of the pitch and also might help the pacers.
