Pitches for ICC tournaments like the World T20 is supposed to be prepared by an ICC-appointed curator, the rule of which is not meant to be interfered with. The pitch at the IS Bindra PCA Stadium, the venue for the high-voltage India-Australia ICC World T20 2016 match, has reportedly been altered with to assist spinners as per the Board of Control for Cricket in India’s request. According to a report on Hindustan Times, BCCI sources have confirmed that the pitch for Sunday’s crucial tie had been changed at the behest of the Indian team management. The India-South Africa Test that took place here in November last year saw the spinners making merry with India’s first innings score or 201 being the highest score in the match. A similar move by India for their World T20 opening game against New Zealand backfired on the tournament hosts, with the Black Caps spinners feasting on a rank turner to dismiss India out for a paltry 79, recording a massive 47-run win in the process.
