October 27 will be the first-ever triple-header day in the ongoing eighth edition of the ICC T20 World Cup in Australia. It is with sincere thanks to the difference in Australian time zones that fans around the world will get to see as many as three World Cup matches in a single day.
In spite of being a working Thursday, the day will provide enough opportunities for fans in different countries to watch at least one match according to their time zones and preferred slot.
Having said that, the second match of the day in the form of the first-ever India-Netherlands T20I is expected to entice the maximum attention not only because of the Indian cricket team but also because of a clear weather forecast in Sydney during the evening.
Sydney, whose 12 T20Is (five won and lost each by teams batting first and second) in the past have returned equal results, will be hosting matches only for the second time in this tournament. First Super 12 match last week, the first T20 World Cup 2022 match at this venue had resulted in an embarrassing loss for the home team.
