Another cause of concern with the wet weather around Dharamsala is going to be the state of the outfield at the HPCA Stadium. The outfield at the venue has come in for criticism from the teams with Afghanistan’s Mujeeb ur Rahman avoiding a major mishap in their match against Bangladesh earlier this month.
South African skipper Temba Bavuma said that his team will be careful while fielding at Dharamsala. “I think the field is a bit patchy. We did have a fielding practice last night and to be honest it didn’t play as bad as it really looked – but I guess we’ll see how it goes within the game. We have spoken about you know trying to be a bit more cautious. Maybe changing your diving technique, I don’t know how easy that is to do when you in the heat of the moment I guess guys will just have to I guess just pay a bit more attention to that – But yeah, like I said when we fielded yesterday it wasn’t all too bad. But we’ll really get to see when we’re playing in the game tomorrow,” Bavuma said on the eve of the match on Monday.
