Image Of Dubai International Stadium's Pitch Goes Viral
Meanwhile, a picture of the surface at Dubai International Stadium, which will be used for the high-profile India vs Australia clash, has gone viral on social media. A day before the mega clash, several media outlets reported that the pitch for the first semifinal would be a new one, keeping fans from both sides puzzled.
However, with less than two hours left for the game's commencement, an image of the pitch at Dubai International Cricket Stadium has gone viral on social media. By the looks of it, the track seems devoid of grass and could be slightly on the drier side.
How Rohit And Smith Reacted To The Query Of Playing Conditions?
In the pre-match press conference, Indian captain Rohit Sharma stated that the playing conditions in Dubai would be alien for the Men in Blue, as they were unaware of the nature of the pitch, supposed to be used for this match.
On the other hand, Australian captain Steve Smith had a look at the surface while highlighting its dryness upon being asked about it. All in all, the playing conditions in Dubai have offered an excellent contest between bat and ball so far in the tournament.
So, as two extremely competitive units are set to collide, expect nothing but a riveting battle at Dubai International Stadium.
