Ravi Shastri selects India’s Playing Xi for the Trophy Trophy semifinal.
With a recovery of less than 48 hours for the semifinals, Ravi Shastri believes that India has to get stuck with the same team that fell to New Zealand, as players are used to the conditions.
According to Ravi Shastri, the Spinners will get into the semifinals and the latter will find it difficult to chase 240-250 runs.
“The square is a little tired at the moment, people have run on the court that is going to be used the next day, so the spreads will start again,” Ravi Shastri said as the ICC said.
“So, if you go first, put something over 240-250, it will be very competitive in a big game like semifinals,” Shastri said.
