🏏ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2026: Super8 - M52: IND vs WI🏏 - Page 8

Pitch report - Samuel Badree and Matthew Hayden: The tension is quite palpable as we approach the start of this winner-take-all affair. The weather is set fair. The venue is an absolute spectacle. It is a high-scoring ground. And what do the dimensions look like? Well, if you're bowling from the clubhouse end, it's 73 metres straight over the bowler's head, equidistant almost square of the wicket, so parity on both sides. Lots of sixes are being struck here, but there's also value for your shots along the ground, one of the fastest outfields in world cricket. What about the surface then? What a beautiful venue, but also, what an outstanding pitch that we've got here this evening. Right, what we've got here is we've got some really living grass here, not too dry. One end is a little drier than the other, I feel, with a little less grass, but generally speaking, this is a six-hitting paradise. You've seen both of these two squads just powering through the early phases and through the middle of the West Indies who have got the best use of it with the new pitch.

BCCI wale lied. They didnt play rinku

Vihaan : "do you think dropping Rinku is a good choice here at this high scoring ground where death runs are so important. I think it's the right cal but my father disagrees. what's your call @cricinfo " With you Vihaan, I'd have preferred him over Dube. Let's see if the allrounder proves us wrong

They probably wanted to give him some time. It’s understandable:(

170 is a high score for a team jinki openers ko khud nahi patha when will they get out

Middle order is another question mark except for Sky ? I hope our bowlers are up to the mark.

Shouldn't KD and Siraj be India's strike bowlers? even Axar and Varun have gone for handful in the previous matches." Think the call was between Dube and Kuldeep, but with the pitch expected to be flat, India didn't want the additional spinners. Plus, Bumrah and Arshdeep are above Siraj in India's T20I pecking order

Pitch report - It's a high-scoring ground. From the Clubhouse end, square boundaries are 64 and 65 metres, longer ones down the ground. One of the fastest outfields here too. Matthew Hayden says there's live grass, one end is drier than the other. It's a six-hitting paradise.

They should have just told him to go back to his home

Ikr! Kya fayda bench pe bitana ka ? Na yahaan ka na wahaan ka.

The giant flags are unfolded in the middle, which brings about a loud, deafening cheer from the crowd. First, the match officials make their way out to the middle. Moments later, both captains lead their respective teams onto the field, walking through a burst of fireworks as they line up for the national anthems.

Bowlers and Batsman both openers from India need to click to restrict at a reasonable total and chase it on the winner side…. 🤞

Dube is also in, let's pray that Surya won't give bowling option to Dube!
