Trivandrum, Nov 25: Weather will be the crucial factor when Thiruvananthapuram hosts the second T20 international between India and Australia to be held played at the Greenfield Stadium on Sunday.
However, Kerala Cricket Association (KCA) Secretary Vinod Kumar sounded confident of hosting a full match, saying that even if it rains one hour before the match, things will go on in a smooth manner as the ground has an excellent drainage system.On the pitch, Kumar said like in most T20 matches, the 22-yard strip will favour the batsmen.
“However, we are having rains frequently and if the conditions remain overcast, it might help the bowlers as well,” said Kumar. On sale of tickets, Kumar said it was initially affected due to the heavy rains, but after two days of sunshine, ticket sales have picked up pace. (IANS)
