Fill the pitch, increasing the gap between the two sides.
A hard-to-beat field will bring the teams closer together. WI have amazing batting depth and a decent bowling unit…but PNG pushed them well.
I hope today’s pitch was just a mess… #T20WorldCup– Aakash Chopra (@cricketaakash) June 2, 2024
Roston Chase has begun to understand his limited overs game better. Good spin player too.
