A controversy has arisen over the dangerous pitch of Nassau International Cricket Ground. Here, one low-scoring match after another is becoming a matter of concern for the International Cricket Council (ICC).
Here, during the India-Ireland match on Wednesday, abnormal bounce was seen in the drop-in pitches, due to which Indian captain Rohit Sharma and wicketkeeper Rishabh Pant got injured. India-Pakistan high-voltage match is to be played on June 9 at this ground in New York.
The ICC has started repairing the drop-in pitches before the India-Pakistan mega match. After the India-Ireland match on Wednesday night, ICC’s pitch curator and staff were seen repairing the pitch. Not only this, Indian team’s head coach Rahul Dravid and Vikram Rathod were also seen giving instructions to the curators.
Why is there an unusual bounce on the Nassau pitch?
Drop-in pitches have been used in this stadium, which have been prepared in Adelaide, Australia. Drop-in pitches are rolled well to settle on the field, but due to bad weather last week, the pitches could not be rolled.
Score less than 100 for the second consecutive match, Sri Lanka all out for 77
Two World Cup matches have been played on Nassau’s drop-in pitches, but no team has been able to score more than 100 runs. In the last match, Sri Lanka’s team was all out for 77 runs and South Africa took 16.2 overs to chase the target of 78 runs. In this match, 9 out of 14 wickets were taken by fast bowlers.
