Mumbai know conditions better than Royals: Wright

Mumbai Indians coach John Wright says their familiarity with the conditions at the Freozshah Kotla gives them edge in the Champion League Twenty20 final against Rajasthan Royals, who will play out of their comfort zone.
The IPL champions Mumbai Indians have the experience of playing and winning two matches at Kotla while Royals have played all their matches at home.
"We are pleased to play two matches here. It will surely help us. The Royals will take time in order to adjust to the Delhi track," Wright said after his side stormed into the final of the tournament last night.

The Mumbai coach also commended Sachin Tendulkar for touching the milestone of 50,000 runs in competitive cricket. Tendulkar's achievement came during last night's semifinal against Trinidad & Tobago.
"We are all thrilled about Sachin's amazing milestone. I hope he adds another few landmarks in his career. It is always pleased to see a player achieving some as big as this," Wright said.
Today's final will be the last time the two Indian batting legends, Tendulkar and Rahul Dravid of Royals, will be competing in the franchise-based league but Wright said they are not thinking about it too much and want to win the final.

"We are focusing on the result of tomorrow's match which is more important for us," he said.
