In response to reports in the Australian media regarding pitch changes favoring Indian bowlers in the World Cup semi-final against New Zealand, Iceland Cricket has humorously offered advice to the Australian team ahead of the ICC World Cup final against India on November 19. The Australian media had suggested that the BCCI requested a “used” pitch in Mumbai to aid their spinners. The International Cricket Council (ICC) clarified that the decision was not unusual. Iceland Cricket playfully advised Australia to “check everything” from coin markings to the alignment of the Moon and Venus before the final match. This cheeky suggestion aims to address the controversy surrounding pitch changes. Sunil Gavaskar dismissed rumors about pitch changes, and the ICC affirmed that the alteration was common, with its independent pitch consultant aware and expecting the pitch to play well.
