India Vs Australia, 6th ODI at Guwahati today

It’ a must win game for India going into the sixth ODI at the Nehru Stadium in Guwahati at 2-3. It has been a fabulous series so far with both sides being very competitive and two of the five matches so far have been won by the narrowest of margins.

After a high pressure game at Hyderabad, the two teams have gone North-East and will face each other in a day match that starts as early as 8-30 AM. The sun is likely to fade away quickly as the day progresses as it always does in the North-East and also the fact that is winter time.

The pitch will be an uncertainity and perhaps fielding will be a better option as there could be life in the wicket plus swing in the air. It may also be a slow and low bouncing track like in Delhi. Reckon its a game where the new ball bowlers will decided the course of the game, and in particular in the first hour of the match. It will probably need the sheet anchor type of innings over here for the batsmen.

The biggest worry is that it could be a curtailed match towards the end because of the bad light conditions. Once the match goes beyond 4:00 PM local time, then its very difficult to resume and Mr.Duckworth-Lewis will have to come into play.
