Pitch report from Jaipur courtesy of Deep Dasgupta and Aaron Finch: It's the final game here at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium, Jaipur, and it's a very important one. It's the battle to qualify as the top two teams. As far as the pitch is concerned, it's kind of in the centre of the square. On one side, it's 67m and on the other side, it's 63m (square boundaries), straight down is 71m. This has been one of the most consistent squares so far this season - a lot of runs. Not too consistent if you're a fast bowler or a spinner, there's not a lot of help. When you look down at the surface, straightaway, it has a beautiful matting of grass on it, slightly dry underneath but this grass coverage will keep some pace in it. That will mean you can play shots all around the ground. The one thing that you've to be mindful of is that a big breeze blowing towards the shorter side. How they defend that boundary, expect a lot of straighter balls and bowling wide to the longer side. The pitch will not change, the bias isn't towards either batting first or second. So, the batters can play their shots, put pressure and make it hard chasing down scores. You want to chase totals in this format, but will one of the captains be brave enough and bat first if he wins the toss?
