World Cup Semi-Final: Indian Cricket Board accused of changing the pitch before the match

The Indian Cricket Board has been accused of changing the pitch at will in the first semi-final of the International Cricket Council (ICC) ODI World Cup 2023.

According to the British news agency Daily Mail, the Indian Cricket Board (BCCI) changed the pitch of the semi-final without the permission of the ICC. The Indian cricket board has been accused of trying to favor its spinners in the semi-finals

The report states that the semi-final between New Zealand and India was to be played on pitch number 7 of the stadium, which has not yet played a World Cup match. The Indian board decided to hold the match on pitch number 6, on which 2 matches have already been played.

According to the Daily Mail report, India had a match against Sri Lanka and England against South Africa on pitch number 6. On pitch number 6, India bowled out the Sri Lankan team for 55 runs to make it a one-sided match.

In the report of the British organization, it was further stated that in case of reaching the final, the pitch of Narendra Modi Stadium Ahmedabad can also be changed by the Indian board at will.
