Iceland Cricket humorously advised the Australian cricket team to scrutinize every detail ahead of the highly anticipated ICC World Cup 2023 final match. They advised the Pat Cummins-led team to check the metal and markings of the coin to be used for the toss.

Iceland Cricket’s post came in response to reports in the Australian media about pitch changes favoring Indian bowlers in the semi-final against New Zealand. The media reports suggested that the BCCI asked for a ‘used’ pitch to benefit their bowlers in the semi-final.

Check Everything Before The Final – Iceland Cricket

Iceland Cricket took to X (formerly known as Twitter) to share a cheeky response, stating that Australia must check the roller’s weight, toxins in the dressing room’s paint, and even the alignment of the Moon and Venus before the World Cup Final against the hosts.

“Message to the Aussies: check everything before the final. The metal and markings on the coin, the weight of the roller, the toxins in the dressing room’s paint, the alignment of the Moon and Venus, etc. Leave nothing to chance, since you don’t want to end up feeling insecure,” the Iceland Cricket posted on X.

Australia secured a spot in the World Cup final by defeating South Africa by 7 wickets in the second semi-final. The five-time world champions successfully chased the target of 213. The team lost a couple of wickets in the middle overs but crossed the finish line.

Changes To Planned Pitch Rotations Are Common – ICC Spokesperson

An ICC spokesperson refuted reports suggesting that the ICC independent pitch consultant was not informed about the late pitch change for the World Cup semi-final. He clarified that alterations to planned pitch rotations are common towards the end of events.

“Changes to planned pitch rotations are common towards the end of an event of this length and have already happened a couple of times. This change was made on the recommendation of the venue curator in conjunction with our host,” the spokesperson told RevSportz.

“The ICC independent pitch consultant was apprised of the change and has no reason to believe the pitch won’t play well,” he added.
