The three-match T20 series between India and Australia is starting in Mohali from Tuesday. After this, the Indian team will also play a series of three T20s and three ODIs against South Africa at home.
It is being said that BCCI has organized all these matches so that the Indian team can get good match practice before the T20 World Cup to be held in Australia next month. But, the biggest question that arises is that the conditions in Australia are completely different from the Indian conditions. The bowlers get more bounce from the pitches there. In India, the ball bounces after putting a lot of effort. Then how can one get World Cup practice by playing on Pata pitch of India?
The detailed answer to this question will be known in this article. Along with this, you will also know how T20 matches in India are different from matches in Australia.
Before proceeding further in this news, give your opinion in this poll of ours...
The focus on team combination
The eyes of the Indian team are more on the team combination than the condition at this time. In the Asia Cup, the Indian team could not even reach the final. The biggest reason for this came to the fore that the team's think tank has not yet been able to figure out what is the best combination. From whom should the opening be made and to which number should be sent in the middle order.
Team India, captained by Rohit Sharma, wants to know its best team combination through the series against Australia and South Africa. This is the reason that India has selected almost the same team for both these series which will go to Australia to play the World Cup.
Most of the countries make batting friendly pitch in T20 cricket.
The second reason behind doing World Cup practice by playing matches in India is that the pitch is favorable for batting wherever T20 cricket is. There will be more bounce in Australia but the situation will not be such that the Asian batsmen are not able to play properly. Anyway, it is not the host country but the ICC has to decide how the pitch should be during the World Cup. Therefore, Australia cannot make such pitches even if they want, where the batsmen of all the countries of Asia including India have trouble.
