Former Australian cricket team captain Ricky Ponting says that Cricket World Cup 2023 Finals India’s decision to prepare a non-standard pitch cost India dearly.
According to a foreign cricket website, former Australian captain Ricky Ponting said that India had prepared the pitch for the final thinking that they would trouble the Australian batters.
He said that this decision itself cost India dearly in the form of defeat, which according to him was good.
Ricky Ponting said that on the day of the final, the conditions were exactly the same as in the subcontinent, but preparing such a pitch took India.
On the other hand, former England captain Michael Vaughan said that Australia took better advantage of these conditions than India.
He also said that tactically, Australia is a very smart team, they have a good think tank.
