Chopra Backs Indian Team To Adapt Quicker To Guwahati Pitch Despite Many Unknowns
ODI World Cup: There are many vital elements of intrigue with the ACA Stadium in Guwahati becoming India's 28th Test venue when the second India-South Africa game begins on Saturday. With India having a 30-run humbling loss on a spin-friendly pitch inside three days at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata, how the surface would behave in Guwahati is the cynosure of everyone’s eyes.
The stadium had been one of the five venues for the 2025 Women’s ODI World Cup and aided the batters to make runs, as well as offer a lot of turn to spinners. But when it comes to red-ball cricket, an early morning start means moisture in the air will be there for an extended period and could make batting more difficult, thus helping the seamers.
Former India opener Aakash Chopra has backed the hosts to adapt to the conditions quicker than South Africa, while admitting the unusually early start, danger of losing overs in the final session and the pitch’s nature having an element of unknown makes things far more interesting in deciding the game’s result.
