‘Away advantage’ for India in World Cup

Firstpost  

The loss to Australia at home shouldn’t be a cause for concern as bilateral events and multi-nation tournaments like the World Cup are very different On March 13, India’s men’s cricket team made history. However, apart from this problem, that the team has simply learned to live with, the series loss to Australia hasn’t exposed any weaknesses that could cost it dear at the World Cup. Dew is also unlikely to be a factor in the World Cup in England since most of India’s matches are day games. So, while India has issues to work out when playing bilateral series at home, the loss to Australia is unlikely to have much of an impact on its World Cup campaign.
