Weekly Cricket Buzz FEB 24 to MAR 1: India qualifies to Semis

Just to clarify. None of these were done to deliberately help team India.

The groundsmen set up the ground to try to have the match lasting until day 5. The extra grass was taken off because the pitch was likely to deteriorate, so didn't need to be loaded for day 1 as much.

It’s confirmed: Guwahati to host two Rajasthan Royals’ home games

Owner Manoj Badale,

“Last season, we witnessed the enthusiasm of the people from the Northeast when the young gun of Assam, Riyan Parag played many impactful innings for our team. The region that once lacked resources and facilities for cricket has seen so much growth, investing funding from the BCCI very effectively. The stadium is top quality and therefore we feel the time is right to grow our Royals’ family and get the love and support from fans across the Northeast.”
