Select the most appropriate option that can substitute the highlighted segment in the given sentence.
The team always anticipate a bowling friendly pitch on their easy victory in the T20 matches.

Correct option is B

The correct substitution of the highlighted segment is (b) pitch for their easy victory.
Explanation: The preposition "for" is appropriate here as it indicates the reason or purpose, i.e., a pitch that helps the team achieve an easy victory.
· Grammatical Rule: Use of prepositions to indicate purpose or cause (e.g., "for").
Example: They hope for good weather for their outdoor event.
Why Other Options Are Incorrect:
· Option (a) pitch over their easy victory:
· The preposition "over" implies dominance or control, which does not fit the intended meaning.
· Example of "over": He triumphed over his rivals.
· Option (c) pitch to their easy victory:
· The preposition "to" implies direction or movement towards something, which is not the intent of this sentence.
· Example of "to": She walked to the market.
· Option (d) pitch of their easy victory:
· The preposition "of" suggests possession or belonging, which is incorrect in this context as the sentence is about anticipation of a favorable pitch, not its possession.
· Example of "of": The color of the sky is blue.
