Punjab Cricket Association Stadium curator assures Mohali wicket will improve
The curator of the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Ireland-c751 in a Group B match of the ongoing ICC World
Cup 2011 on 11 http://www.senore.com/Cricket/March-c74391.
The senior PCA curator http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Daljeet-Singh-c52134 was confident that the pitch would not offer much of the lateral movement it showed in the previous match and the Mohali fans would enjoy a competitive game on Friday.
“We will ensure that the wicket does not have too much of lateral movement and spin,” the curator told the media reporters on Wednesday. “It's important to keep grass on the wicket. There will be good pace and bounce, though our aim is to
cut off too much movement.”
Giving the details of the ground, Daljeet Singh said that the grass left on the pitch will be brownish while the outfield will be kept fast.
When asked about the previous match between http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Netherlands-c753 at the venue on 3 March, Singh said that persistent rains in Mohali forced them to prepare the wicket quite early and then they had to keep it covered which lead to
a damp wicket.
However, this time there has been plenty of sunshine ahead of the match and the curator was hopeful that the teams would enjoy a better wicket. He said that it will be a typical Mohali track that offers good carry and bounce.
Unlike the last match, the Meteorological department has forecasted clear skies and pleasant weather for Mohali on Friday.
The venue is scheduled to host three World Cup matches including a semi-final as well. For Friday’s game, the PCA has decided to use the pitch on which the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Tamil-Nadu-c853 and Punjab under-19 teams played recently.
However, for the semi-finals on 30 March, Singh said that they will be using either of the two tracks on which the group stage matches were played.
