BENGALURU, Nov 13 (Reuters) - New Zealand pace bowler Lockie Ferguson said on Monday they must accurately assess Mumbai's Wankhede Stadium pitch ahead of their World Cup semi-final against hosts India and look to tighten up their bowling at the traditionally high-scoring venue.
"A lot of Indian grounds have been high scoring," Ferguson told reporters in Mumbai before Wednesday's clash.
The pitch will be different... it's hard to read two days out.
Ferguson said the statistics favoured batting first at the venue, with New Zealand looking to knock India out of the World Cup semi-finals for a second straight edition.
"At the same time, it's not up to me and we have to play the game on the day," Ferguson added.
