Men’s ODI WC: India-New Zealand Semi-final To Be On Used Pitch, Instead Of Fresh Surface, Say Reports
Cricket World Cup: The first semi-final of the 2023 ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup, to be played between India and New Zealand at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Wednesday afternoon, will be played on a used pitch instead of a fresh surface.
A report in ESPNCricinfo says Wednesday’s semi-final was initially supposed to be played on pitch 7, the central strip of the stadium, which hasn’t been used in the World Cup so far. But a decision was made to shift the game to pitch 6.
Pitch 6 is slightly off-centre and has already hosted two World Cup league matches: South Africa beating England by a huge 229 runs on October 21, and India thrashing Sri Lanka by 302 runs on November 2.
