Cummins' Silence: The Unpredictable Collision of India and Australia on the Ahmedabad Track

Australian captain Pat Cummins mentioned Pakistan when asked about his evaluation of the Ahmedabad pitch for the World Cup title clash between India and Australia, which had already been used for the India-Pakistan encounter. Cummins stated that the pitch looked firm and like a pretty good wicket, but he also mentioned that Pakistan had played someone there. The Australian team, including Steve Smith and head coach Andrew McDonald, inspected the pitch before their training session. Cummins believes that the Motera pitch will not have extreme turn like the Eden Gardens strip, but batting under lights could be difficult due to dew. He indicated that the batting order might be tweaked if Australia bats second to counter the dew factor.
