Mohali to have a competitive pitch for 3rd Test

MOHALI, Mar 7:
Australia have been promised a “competitive” pitch at Mohali, venue of the third Test beginning March 14, unlike the turners at Chennai and Hyderabad where they were mauled by Indian spinners.
The track prepared for the match will suit both the bowlers and the batsmen and the organisers expect the game to go the full distance.
“The wicket at the PCA ground here will not be of the same character (as it was in Chennai and Hyderabad). The pitch here will be good for both the sides. It will not bring out a one-sided result as has happened in the first two matches,” said PCA Secretary M P Pandove.
“It will suit both the batsmen and the bowlers. The ball will come on to the bat nicely and there will be enough assistance for the pacers. The spinners will come into play later on. We would like to have real good cricket here,” Pandove added.(PTI
