Prior to the game against England at Providence Stadium in Guyana, India captain Rohit Sharma was as brilliant in the press conference as he was against Australia during the T20 World Cup semi-final. Apart from the actual matches between the two teams, there have been more discussions about the pitch and weather than about India and England’s chances of facing South Africa in the final. In Australia for the most recent T20 World Cup, England defeated India at the same stage. That evening, the Indian spinners found it impossible to bear the heat from England skipper Jos Buttler and opener Alex Hales.
England defeated Pakistan in the championship match after winning the match by a margin of ten wickets. The calculations alter significantly, though, because the pitch in Guyana is probably more favorable to the spinners.
Indians have a reputation for being a little bit better at tackling than the other teams. But Rohit emphasized that India will not benefit.
“I don’t think it’s a benefit; after all, many of these players have performed in many settings. Many of these English cricket players have undoubtedly played here before.
Many of these English cricket players have undoubtedly played here before. I do not consider this to be a benefit. To win a cricket match, you ultimately need to play good cricket. That’s my perspective,” Rohit stated during a press conference held in Georgetown prior to the game.
The prediction indicates that Georgetown, the capital of Guyana, may see more rain on game day. It has been pouring there for the past few days.
Because there is only one day between the match in Guyana and the championship in Barbados, the ICC has not set aside a reserve day for the second semi-final.
However, in the event that rain does halt the game, there is an extra 250 minutes to finish.
If there is a washout, India advances to the championship game, and England is out even if they don’t play.
Thus, a number of former England players have charged that the ICC is biased in favour of India.
Rohit expressed his opinions on the matter, downplaying the argument once more and stating that the Indian players are more concerned with winning the match than with the weather.It’s true that nobody has any control on the overhead conditions. Our knowledge of the future is limited. Our charter flight is the only reason I’m concerned if the game continues till quite late. It’s okay if we end up missing that flight. Our attention will be on how we can play this game well and turn the results in our favor, not how much trouble the ICC and Cricket West Indies are having getting us to the next location. We will concentrate on that, he said, but ultimately, two excellent cricket sides will play, making it an exciting match.
