They should make sure they prepare games in advance instead of having a few games there. Also, very happy [with the result],

Hardik said that there is so much happening outside the surface that the batsmen have to be very careful. “It wasn’t like it was a slow, turning wicket,” he said. “But it was going really well and to be honest it was shocking for the wicket.

Santner: ‘Was trying to find spinners from everywhere’

“Obviously it was a great game of cricket,” Santner said, “Great effort from the boys to get it so close.” if we get 10-15 extra [runs]It could have been the difference, but I think peace between Hardik and Surya [Suryakumar Yadav] It was great to get them over the line. i was trying to find them [spinners] from all over. I was asking Lockie [Ferguson] If he can bowl some off-spin but yes, I think you don’t often see spin for more than 12 overs. I think we probably bowled 16 or 17, so it’s definitely something different.”

Gambhir, Neesham also criticized the Lucknow track

“I don’t think the New Zealand batsmen were lacking,” Neesham said. “I think GG was like [Gautam Gambhir] Mentioned, a ‘lousy’ surface, I don’t think anyone really played through both innings fluently. So, clearly two very high quality spin-bowling attacks, but when a good number of people turn up at the ground to watch and want to be entertained, it’s a bit of a shame, but there was a silver lining that it was a bit It’s over. A low scoring thriller.”

So, it One of them. Where you expect different wickets around the world and we can’t complain, it’s exciting to try to figure out how to play on these wickets.”

Mhambrey: ‘You have to ask the curator about the behavior of the pitch’

“First of all when we saw the wicket, we realized it was on the dry side,” Mhambrey said at the post-match press conference. “Obviously there was some grass in the middle, but there was no grass at either end. So, when we came in yesterday, it looked like it would turn. We realized it would be a challenging wicket.” reason [why the pitch behaved like that]… you’ll have to ask the curators.

Or I don’t know and I think he’s the right person to answer that question. I think had we allowed anything beyond 100 and 120-130, I felt it would have been more challenging but we did well to restrict them to 99 and give them a reasonable target to chase.”
