Former England captain Nasser Hussain acknowledged perceptions favoring India in their T20 World Cup 2024 semi-final, noting favorable playing conditions. However, he highlighted India’s adaptability, citing their victory over Australia in St Lucia on a different pitch before the semi-final.
Criticism from ex-captain Michael Vaughan centered on India’s schedule alignment with Indian broadcast preferences and the semi-final venue choice despite their performance. Despite India’s win, Vaughan suggested pitch conditions favored them.
In response, Sourav Ganguly dismissed claims that broadcast scheduling influences match outcomes, emphasizing performance on the field matters most.
