The photos of the Sano International Cricket Ground in Tochigi Prefecture have been circulating on social media, and by the looks of it, the ground appears to be a small venue, which could favour a lot of runs being scored. With the Indian team facing Japan and later more teams at the Asian Games, experts and fans expect the Indian team to break a lot of records, including the famous barrier of 300 runs by a team.
Only once has a full-member team breached the 300-run barrier, when England scored 304 runs against South Africa. The Indian team’s highest score in T20I cricket is 297 against Bangladesh. With the favourable conditions in Japan, the team might break the barrier and give fans another reason to celebrate.
However, even though Japan and the other teams at the Asian Games are not as big in cricket, anything can happen on any given day. The supporters and fans of the team are already excited for the one-off match and the Asian Games because we might see some thrilling batting displays from the Indian cricket team.
