The three-match T20 series between India and Australia is starting in Mohali on Tuesday. After this, the Indian team will also play a series of three T20s and three ODIs against South Africa at home.
It is being said that BCCI has organized all these matches so that the Indian team can get good match practice before the T20 World Cup to be held in Australia next month. But, the biggest question that arises is whether the conditions in Australia are completely different from the Indian conditions. The bowlers get more bounce from the pitches there. In India, the ball bounces after putting in a lot of effort. Then how can one get World Cup practice by playing on the Pata pitch of India?
The detailed answer to this question will be known in this article. Along with this, you will also know how T20 matches in India are different from matches in Australia.
The focus on team combination
The eyes of the Indian team are more on the team combination than the condition at this time. In the Asia Cup, the Indian team could not even reach the final. The biggest reason for this came to the fore is that the team's think tank has not yet been able to figure out what is the best combination. From whom should the opening be made and to which number should be sent in the middle order?
Team India, captained by Rohit Sharma, wants to know its best team combination through the series against Australia and South Africa. This is the reason that India has selected almost the same team for both these series which will go to Australia to play the World Cup.
Most countries make a batting-friendly pitch in T20 cricket.
The second reason behind doing World Cup practice by playing matches in India is that the pitch is favorable for batting wherever T20 cricket is. There will be more bounce in Australia but the situation will not be such that the Asian batsmen are not able to play properly. Anyway, it is not the host country but the ICC has to decide how the pitch should be during the World Cup. Therefore, Australia cannot make such pitches even if they want, where the batsmen of all the countries of Asia including India have trouble.
Indian batsmen are no longer afraid of bounce
The third reason why Indian batsmen have learned to handle bounce better over the years is the third reason why they do not run after bouncy conditions for World Cup practice. At present, the Indian team is the only team in the world to have won the Test series on the tour of Australia twice in a row. Apart from this, India's performance in Australia in the last few years has also been good in ODI and T20 cricket.
Now know what is different between matches in India and Australia
So far 111 T20 International matches have been played in India. On average, runs are scored at the rate of 8.15 runs per over. There have been 54 T20 Internationals in Australia so far, where runs are scored at the rate of 7.91 runs per over.
The role of dew is very important in matches in India. Due to the fall of dew at night, the ball becomes wet and difficult to grip.
There is not much of a dew problem in Australia. That's why the whole 40 overs remain the same condition.
Batsmen have scored fifty-plus scores 63 times in 54 T20 Internationals in Australia. These include three centuries and 60 half-centuries. That is, in a match there, on average, 1.16 batsmen make fifty-plus scores.
In 111 matches in India, the batsmen have scored fifty-plus scores 150 times. These include 8 centuries and 142 half-centuries. That is, an average of 1.35 batsmen make fifty-plus scores in a match in India.
India has 1178 wickets in 111 matches (excluding run-outs). That is, the bowler takes 10.6 wickets in a match. Bowlers have taken 601 wickets in 54 matches in Australia. That is, bowlers, take about 11.13 wickets in every match.
It is clear from the above data that Indian conditions are more batting friendly. At the same time, there is more help for the bowlers in Australia. However, the difference is not much. Therefore, it does not matter much to the Indian management whether match practice is being done in India or Australia before the World Cup.
