According to Jharkhand State Cricket Association secretary Sanjay Sahay, they are expecting a full house after the state government has given a green signal to “100 per cent capacity.” As per the state government notification, people who are double vaccinated or carrying RT-PCR negative result will be allowed entry into the venue.
Toss factor
Meanwhile, seasoned chief curator Shyam Bahadur Singh said “heavy dew is expected from 7:30pm onwards,” which could mean toss would play a significant role.
“Heavy dew is expected from around 7:30pm onwards. We will take all possible measures to negate the impact,” Singh said.
Batting-friendly surface
As for the wicket, it would be a typical batting-friendly surface with the bowlers having little advantage.
“It would be a sporting wicket. T20 is a game of entertainment, not a classic version. People will come to watch some power hitting and not to see a Ranji or a Test match,” he said.
