IND vs AUS, Pitch Report and Playing Conditions
The surface at the Dr YS Rajasekhara Reddy Cricket Stadium in Vishakhapatnam is comparatively more supportive for the batters; though, it might have some assistance for the spinners in the second half of the match. But the dew factor could play a different role which might be easy for batters in the second innings. So, the captain winning the toss will look ahead to put the opponent in a run-chase considering the dew factor.
