How would pacers play a big role in the day-night match? I don't think there would be a lot of wind help in this weather in Gujarat and neither there is going to be a lot of dew in Gujarat so spinners could very well play a decent role in the match. Am I missing something or is it the pink ball? How exactly do pacers help in a day-night match for any team?
In comparison to Red ball, Pink ball keep its shape and hardness intact for longer period of time. which is favorable to seam-swing (not so much for reverse tho) and fast bowlers enjoy bowling under the floodlight if pitch offering some help. Good bowlers can exploit condition very well and evening session (under floodlight) is testing for every batsmen.
But if wickets is flat road then queen save the bowlers. Here toss comes in the play, every team would like to bat first if its flat wicket.
Ohh interesting. I have myself never played with a pink ball. Mostly played with the red ball only. This means reverse swing won't be a big wild card in the next match which means line and length will be the most important criteria therefore India will surely come down with the best pacers. Bumrah, Ishant and Siraj will be the obvious choices and the way Ashwin is batting, I think probable XI would have Axar, Ashwin and 3 pacers.
