IND vs AUS Pitch Report, 1st T20
The pitch at the Dr. Y.S. Rajashekar Reddy ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium has historically been favorable to batsmen, known for its excellent batting tracks. However, it has also provided support to spinners, and the low bounce in the second innings has posed challenges for run-scoring.
With the match set to begin at 7 PM, the dew factor could occasionally impact both teams, especially the side bowling second. Recent matches at the venue have seen an advantage for the chasing team, and this trend may continue when India takes on Australia in the first T20I. The average score in the first innings at this ground is around 119.
