🏏IPL 2026: RR vs GT, Qualifier 2, at New Chandigarh on 29/05/2026🏏 - Page 8

We're on pitch number 4. A lovely wind is coming across from the left to the right, so there should be no dew. It's nice and cool - 69m and 63 square boundaries, the straight boundary is at 74m. So nice dimensions with a slight bias. This pitch looks very similar to what was experienced the other night (in the Eliminator). The grass cover is very even and consistent, but it's super dry underneath. Pace, bounce, nice carry and no real spin - it's going to be quite similar. Since a match was played the other night, the pitch might be slightly slower. The breeze takes out the dew factor, 220 should be a par score, reckon Ian Bishop and Micheal Clarke, in their pitch report.

Donovan Ferreira: (You must be comfortable with this "knockout business" by now? As you said, we've had three must-win games, but every game is different. You can’t carry momentum from one over to the next; today is a massive game for us. I can’t really speak for them, but the rest of us have been playing a lot of cricket over the last few days. It’s about being on autopilot now and just doing what needs to be done. (Do you see yourself as a "scary" 17th-to-20th-over batter?): I'll do whatever the coach and the team need; that’s been our motto. Management has all the insights and data to make those calls, so we just have to be ready whenever we're called upon. Personally, I'm comfortable going in after the 15th over. If I have to go in before that, I just adapt. It gives everyone time to get used to the wicket so I can explode at the back end of the game. I’m not sure what the captain and coach have decided yet, but this is a really good batting wicket. Looking at the previous game, the opposition didn't even bat that well—we bowled quite well—and they still reached 200. That shows how good the surface is. Whatever the decision, we’ll need to put up a good score or chase well. If there is dew, batting second is beneficial, but we’ll go with whatever they decide. Thank you very much. Cheers.
