Anticipating the crucial World Cup semifinal clash against New Zealand at Mumbai's Wankhede Stadium today, the Indian team management has opted for a slow pitch. After informing the Wankhede curator about their preference following the match against the Netherlands in Bengaluru, the team aims to leverage its strong performance on slow tracks. Head coach Rahul Dravid and Captain Rohit Sharma personally inspected the pitch, emphasizing the need for a slower surface. The decision aligns with India's strategy, seeking to make chasing challenging for opponents at a venue known for its historical difficulty for the team batting second.
