The advantage teams have had batting second in the just-concluded T20 World Cup is something the ICC can look into to ensure a level-playing field, Indian batting great Sunil Gavaskar said on Monday.

In the T20 showpiece that concluded on Sunday with Australia's triumph over New Zealand in the final, teams batting second have won almost all their matches. "The commentators were saying that the dew factor wasn't there today so I don't think it came into play that much in this game but I think it has in the previous games and maybe that is something that needs to be looked at," Gavaskar said.

"I feel that it is something for the ICC Cricket Committee to get their heads around and make sure that there is a level playing field for both teams," he added.
