There is no sign of last night’s scary rain; the sun appears to be shining with full zeal and zest, almost like it is here to witness the much awaited competition between archrivals, India and Pakistan at Mohali. The surface has some moisture and both teams are determined to make full use of it.
According to experts, and as suggested by previous statistics, batting first will make little difference on this soil. The pitch is green but less than what was expected. Mohali soil is due to accumulate bounce, which will definitely help both sides in bowling.
Dew will be a major factor in the encounter. The pitch is also expected to witness some hard hitting strokes from both teams. With the weather being warm and humid, the players’ physical fitness will be tested.
Skipper, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Shahid-Afridi-c2482 and Indian spearhead Harbhajan Singh are expected to perform at their level best, both are fond of accumulating bounce and skidding the ball. The surface seems to be suitable for the veteran spinners.
As far as the batting potential of the teams is concerned, they will have to bat vigilantly, a poor shot selection can prove to be disastrous as movement is there in the pitch.
The pitch possesses wide patches, which will help the batsmen to play extravagant strokes and put up a handsome total on board. However, the team batting first will enjoy a slight edge, as the pitch becomes difficult to understand in later hours of the innings.
At this point, it is uncertain to see who will be able to capitalize their strengths and downplay their weaknesses. Previously, Pakistan chased a mammoth total of 321 runs on this particular track against India.
The outfield is expected to turn out as slow and batsmen will have to use their maximum strength for the ball to reach the stand and join the fans.
Cricket is a funny game, just as it’s unpredictable, so let us hope for an entertaining match. May the best team win.
