New Zealand played with the ball when India was restricted to 110/7 in the Super 12 Stage Group 2 game of the ICCT 20 Men’s World Championships on Sunday.
“The pitch was certainly slower than we saw (the ENG-AUS game). Bit of grass cover but it played slower than expected. The main tactic was bowling first. Teams have had success here bowling first. So the toss was based on that opinion,” said Ish Sodhi after the mid-innings.
“Didn’t turn a hell of a lot but it does when you bowl a touch slow. Tough to catch under the lights here, unfortunate with those two drops. If you had asked before the start of the game. If you had told us we could restrict them to under 120, we will certainly take it,” he added.
