Pitch report and dew factor

Former Australian opener Matthew Hayden, and ex-West Indian fast bowler Ian Bishop reckon it is a 175-190 runs pitch.

"A red soil pitch for the finals, 63m and 70m are the square boundaries, while down the ground 77m. Red Soil does tend to have a lot of bounce, this is a well-prepared pitch and we can hope for a high-scoring game," they say.

Groundsman have assured that there won't be dew tonight, they add. This should come as a huge relief for both teams.
