The conditions were very tough at the Oval for the first match and the ball was swinging and seaming around which saw India’s top order being blown away. However, the pitch and conditions at Cardiff could be much better and this should allow the Indian openers to dig in play a substantial innings. Both Rohit Sharma and Shikhar Dhawan have to give India good starts right through the competition as the team is hugely dependent on the top order.
14:24 hrs ISTPandya injured?
According to some reports, the practice session on Monday saw an injury scare come India’s way as Hardik Pandya was hit under the arm while taking throwdowns. There have been no confirmation from the authorities but if it is true, it can be a huge blow to the Indian cricket team.
