It's a new pitch today, and the boundary dimensions have changed. 69 meters towards point, 62 meters towards square leg and 74 meters down the ground facing the South End (right-handed). Batters will be aiming for that leg side as a right-hander. The pitch today looks similar to the one that was used in the Royals' game. They look identical, there's a few dry areas, but the pitch on Saturday remained consistent. Not much concern whether you win or lose the toss, runs on the board helped on Saturday, the most important thing is the length you bowl on this wicket. Was great for the batters when overpitched. The ball comes on nicely, and you can hit through the line. If you drop it short, with the pace down, that sets things up nicely. Jofra Archer got it spot on, he hit that length. Hitting that top of the stumps length bowling first or second, that is your area. Powerplay is when the ball is hard, but even at the back-end your length is crucial here, reports Daren Ganga and Michael Clarke.
