But after the victory over Zimbabwe in Adelaide, India's chief coach, Rahul Dravid, has indicated a change in the team for the semi-final match. Although Dravid did not openly reveal which player would be given a chance, he did hint that a decision would be made after watching the track.
After the final Super-12 match against Zimbabwe, head coach Rahul Dravid said, ?I think we have a completely open mind about everyone in the 15 (squad). We believe whoever is in the 15 (squad) will potentially not make us weak, given the kind of team we have picked."
Adelaide's pitch is slow
He further said, ?I say again that we have to go there and see. I watched a few matches today (Sunday in Adelaide), and I know the tracks were slow and would have grip and a little turn. We will be playing on a completely new pitch in Adelaide, and to be honest, the pitch we played on against Bangladesh had the ball spinning. It was a different kind of wicket, and it was played in Adelaide as well."
