Whilst every other game is played on a normal wicket
Not seen anything like this before from the home side in a major tournament
Sample size is too small to make this judgement yet considering the first game was played at nagpur which is always been slow and turning and the 2nd game which was affected by rain.
Also this is the first tournament played in vast extreme pitches.
You get the good pacy, small good batting wicket Mumbai, Banglore and should be Dharamasala and then the slow turners, tough to bat on Kolkata, Delhi and Nagpur.
With Mohali being in the middle.
But saying that if Banglore and Mohali start being slow and taking turn then yes the pitches have been doctored.
Banglore never really turned a huge amount and the wicket has always been great for batting and had good pace for the batsman to time the ball.
Mohali been slow lately since they haven't relaid the pitch for 20 years but even then the pitch doesn't really turn unless it has been doctored.
Anyway India is a huge country with varied wickets and with the tournament being played at 6 grounds at grounds at the north, east, south and west and middle of the country no surprise conditions vary between grounds.
So far the only pitch that has surprised me has been Dharamasala.
surely it cant be coincidence that the only two pitches in the tournament that have turned square have been in games featuring india, the rest of the games the ball hasnt really turned that much then it has ragged square in those two games
im surprised they even tried it again after it backfired on them against new zealand
Looks like you are right pitches have been doctored no way should banglore be this slow.
Exactly what I was thinking haha
It's an underhand tactic that isn't even working well
This is the sort of wicket that brings Bangladesh into the game
On a flat one india would win more often surely
