Pitch Report | Anjum Chopra and WV Raman: "Centre pitch. Dimensions remain the same - 55 metres (square) on either side, down the ground will be tested for all the batters (65 metres). It's the same pitch which we had cricket played on last evening. The dynamics have completely changed once the WPL moved to Delhi. The average first innings score has gone up to 184. Teams are batting first, putting big scores, they are going onto win the games which leaves the bowlers under a lot of pressure. They've got to vary their pace and keep their lines consistent, they have to keep it simple and have to be very smart. A lot of captains are relying on spinners, they've picked more wickets than the seam bowlers. A lot of spin being utilized on this surface. That's because they've picked up more wickets at less cost. The trend seems to have changed for the good, the same thing (batting first) could be happening this evening. Runs, runs, runs, that's the way to go on this pitch."
Wasn't the easiest of wickets, but was suitable for my type of batting. Learning from my past mistakes, was trying to go out there and be explosive. I went back after the Test match, worked on a few things coming into the WPL. Using the crease, timing the ball well, that was the game plan
