T20 World Cup: ICC has to look into unfair toss advantage, ensure level playing field, says Sunil Gavaskar
India Today
T20 World Cup: The final on Sunday was won by the team batting second, which has been a norm throughout the tournament with the dew factor giving an advantage to chasing sides. Sunil Gavaskar said that it may not have played too much of a role in the final, this needs to be looked into.
The advantage that teams have had batting second in the T20 World Cup in the UAE is something that the International Cricket Council (ICC) should look into, former India captain Sunil Gavaskar has said. The batting great said that this is an issue for the ICC Cricket Committee to tackle and ensure a level playing field for both teams.
Australia beat New Zealand by eight wickets with seven balls to spare despite having to complete the highest successful run chase in the history of T20 World Cup title clashes. Gavaskar pointed out, however, that the commentators were saying that dew wasn't much of a factor in the match and credited the Australians for how they went about their chase.
