mohali pitch

Mohali’s pitch suits the batsmen. Here the fast bowlers will definitely get help but the ball will also come on the bat well. A lot of runs can be scored on this ground. It would be better to chase the score at night due to dew.

Team India’s path is not easy

Let us tell you that the path of Team India in the ODI series will not be easy. Australia had defeated Team India in the ODI series held in March this year. Even Virat-Rohit could not prevent the team’s defeat in that series.
