London: The UK media has hurled an accusation on the Board of Cricket Control in India (BCCI) for changing the pitch for today’s first semi-final against New Zealand in Mumbai’s Wankhede stadium.
The BCCI has decided to play it semi-final on a pitch where two matches have already played and it is conducive for spinners so that its spinners could get benefit of it.
Whereas the match had to be played at wicket number seven on which no match has been played so far.
No matter we lose or win but this shows how @BCCI is afraid of us..

This is another form of cheating if you change your pitch certainly pic.twitter.com/kQVmS2YrNM
The BCCI has taken the decision without taking the International Cricket Council (ICC) on board wich is violation of the ICC laws.
The British media has also expressed fear that the BCCI can commit violation in the final of the World Cup in Ahmadabad as well.
Hey World is accusing us of PITCH change..??
